I'll probably receive cries of abuse that this query was dealt with years ago but not when I was in the forum so........When testing ring can anybody think of a reason why the ring final tests (R1,R2 and Rn + link test) shouldn't be done from the back of a socket or other outlet on the ring. As...

I have a query around installing a socket outlet spur off a final ring circuit in a domestic installation which isn’t protected by any RCD’s at the DB. My understanding is that to comply with the current regulation the cable installed in the wall would need to be in the prescribe zones (which it...
I'm hoping some of you guys out there on the forum can perhaps provide the benefit of your experience with the below issue:-
Currently working on a job where the garage which is approximately 25 - 30 feet away and adjacent to the house, has its power fed to it via SWA connected off the back of...
Hi,
I am studying for me 91 and am currently practicing on my home. I have found that my garage circuit consisting of a small 2 way CU with 1 of each; ring and lighting circuit (no RCD). I expected to see this circuit connected to the main CU through its own CB but in fact it is connected to...
I was speaking to an Electrical Engineering suit not too long ago,
He reckons that there's talk of Ring Final Circuits being done away with and the preference to install Radials only.
Anyone else heard this little gem.
Whats the general preference of everyone for the two systems????
Anyone...

A perfect opportunity to provide solution to an ongoing problem wasted! What's the point???
My money's also on the chances that when the part p consultations come out it will be...
I am carrying out the continuity for a ring final test for a single phase TN-S system. When doing the end to end Neutral I don't get a reading!! What is wrong here and what Code does apply (Code 1-3)?
Many Thanks.

Just a quick clarification, I am thinking of replacing a T&E switch wire with a 3+E switch wire as an easy way to convert a single light switch to a double light switch without ripping out the wall.

I am fairly...
