    Extending Tails

    I have a job where SEC are moving the mains cable for the property to allow for change of use of the area. This means that the tails from the new meter box will be through a wall and over 3 mts long. Therefore a Switch fuse /isolator will be required in the new meter box. Does it require the...

    Extending C/U circuits

    I appreciate this is a common situation when replacing a C/U and providng the C/U is not on display as such I have usually just added a junction box in the past to extend the circuit. Where there is sufficent space to extend a circuit inside a C/U I can't see any problem with using a wago...

    Extending a ring

    Hi I am a competent DIYer and have fiddled with elecritics, but not massively confident. However, extending a ring, in of itself, looks fairly easy. I am adjusting a wall between two of my bedrooms. The wall is actually a built in wardrobe, which I am removing, with a view to giving some of...

    Junction Box for Extending Old Wired Fuse Board

    I went to look at a job the other day for a customer to install a Hot Tub supply in the garden. Whilst there I found that an 'electrician' in the past had extended all the cables down from where an old wired fuse board used to be located to an RCD protected CU. It was basically a bodge where...

    Extending a PV system

    Hi Can you still add an array to an existing system? We have a client that wishes to add 12kw to a 50kw array. G59 is ok but I'm sure I heard something about how it changes the fit rate of the existing install, is this correct? Thanks

    Extending cat 5 cable or telephone cable and maintenance free requirements?

    I was wondering if the maintenance free requirements (MF) are the same with communication cable as with low voltage supplies? I can't see why they wouldn't be. The junction boxes for cat 5 cable or telephone cable where you just use the insertion tool have no screws that could come loose but I...

    Spurs off Spurs on radial circuit

    So you can spur off Spurs on a radial socket circuit, is this because the cable is protected via a 20amp breaker at the board compared to 32amp on a ring?

    Extending a ring

    What do people tend to use as a connector when extending the ring, and the terminations are carried out in a knock out box? Push in wagos are rated at 24A, or the lever type at 32A. I think (please correct me) 2.5mm enclosed in plaster (ref method C) has a CCC of 27A, so the push in wago would...

    Extending heater cable.

    I have a wall panel heater with a 13amp plug and I want to extend the cable without having to take the heater apart. Is it safe to extend this with the exact same cable and if so can this be done with a connector strip in a choc box or using a 20A round junction box?

    Extending the equipotential Zone of PME installation.

    I was going to just add on to Voltz's thread but it seemed to come to a natural end but I had some questions. 1. A few experienced members say that you should not extend the (equipotential zone) EPZ of a PME system. Am I right in thinking that this is because of the possible potential between...

    Extending cables in consumer unit
