Hi all,
Just has a new gas meter fitted at our factory.
Was left an advice notice that there was no earth bond within 600mm of meter outlet.
The problem with this is the meter is 20 meters away from the building in a little 1970s hut all on its own with a paved parking area in between. The...

Working in a factory which has a spec of conduit. Up to 50mm conduits all over the place with very little forms of other containment.
No idea why, but a nice steady job for the outfit doing it all.

I've just been to a customer who has had somebody else carry out an EICR and have told them that it can not be passed as satisfactory until they replace a number of MCB's for RCBO's as there is a new law that requires them. This is not just on socket outlets. They have gone all out on cables...
Hi, Guys,when measuring PFC-PSCC on 3 phase supplies,I know that you test between live conductors L1-L2, L1-L3, L2-L3 and then all 3 to Neutral and note lowest reading obtained. Then all 3 phases ( is that right term for C&G? ) to earth. Then neutral to earth and lowest reading obtained recorded...
HI All First post so go easy
After a recent H&S visit They were displeased with the fact that we have standard metal clad 13a sockets in some areas on the factory floor . The major of sockets are Blue 16a Commander or Yellow 110. A lot of equipment is low voltage load cells scales...
Hi,
I have been tasked with rewiring most of the machines in a factory.
Due to the age of the equipment and usage I believe residual current protection is a good idea.
This presents an issue with how they want them wired.
Currently we have cables hanging from the ceiling at multiple points of...

Sorry to see the jobs go, but frankly the panels were never really up to scratch.
It does make me wonder a bit what it is about the UK that means that we seem to be incapable of producing consistently high quality solar PV panels at a significant volume.
Sharp should really have been...
Hi guys
i carried out an ECR last week and it had a few category 1, 2 and 3. Obviously resulting in a fail which wasn't great news for the client. They said well there's no point in giving us an unsatisfactory cert and asked if I could do the works and issue a satisfactory grade. So iv since...

I am installing a 6mm T&E circuit on a 32amp MCB (on an RCD protected board) for a 3.5kw Bosch oven. The 6mm is going to a 40amp dp isolator. The oven has a factory installed plugless prewired cable. How do I ensure that the oven cable has adequate protection?
By this I mean that...
Anyone used low bay 60w E40 led replacement lamps? Just wondered how they compare with a metal halide 250w. Obviously cheaper to run so,more interested in light output comparison
was wondering when it comes to an unsatisfactory condition report, then once the corrections are made do you have to redo the form or just add a letter to it stating it is now satisfactory?
Hi all, looking for some advice on gaining a trend profile for the demand of our factory.
At present, we have energy meters on all our larger bits of plant, consisting of ct's on each phase to a digital meter. The meter then gives out a pulse to our PLC which gives us our (in this case) monthly...
Hi all, am going to be doing an inspection on a property which the customer wants a satisfactory report. ie no c1's, c2's. First question Bathroom lighting circut has no 30ma rcd protection, so a C2, next problem lighting circut into bathroom has no Cpc. Can i get around this by installing...
