    Is this meter redundant?

    I've just been sent this, not been there yet. At least 2 new circuits needed and things are a little.....tight...! Hager board is 10 modules and full. RCD main switch. They reckon they have an earth rod outside, deciphering connections to left of the head will need better photo. So earthing...

    Todays bag of fun

    Just venting a little.... At 2:45pm I'd finished another job early. So I thought I'd have an initial look around a really small 2 bed bungalow due an EICR. It only has Lounge, Kitchen, small passage, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. In my head this would be nice simple, almost relaxing end to the...

    Bit of fun, Interpret the previous reg

    I fancy a bit of fun, but in a way to benefit us all. The idea is simple; A reg number is posted and the next poster has to give their interpretation of the reg AND what they believe the regs intent to be. From a trainee, it may be hard to truly understand why a reg is worded the way it is and...

    Estimating the Age of Electrics. Rewiring Fun.

    Hi, I'm about to take leap of faith buying a property which I've not been able to see properly. It has a been extended a couple of times since it was built in 1970 and the current owner has no idea about the history of electrics, no certificates of any kind and doesn't want any visiting...

    Well I've got a fun day planned!

    I am almost 50 and think I am about 30. I go kick boxing and am by far the eldest. I can keep up with them fitness wise and strength but they run rings around me with agility and speed, hence, and to the point, I have a cracked rib from a kick...... So I'm bored at home and practising, albeit...

    wondering what’s being taught in college these days,to the apprentices. Cause when they come on site,they certainly aint being taught like us seniors were. Eg stripping of conductors,many use pliers or side cutters,they do not bend conductors over,up to 2.5mm. Conduit skills to be admired from...

    80A meets 1mm just for fun

    Just for fun this afternoon I wired an old transformer with 3 turns of 10mm on the secondary. This gives about 2.4V when o/c. A foot of 1mm got attached you can see the result of about 10 seconds of operation. I've put it away for today but I am thinking about tormenting some old 6A mcbs...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme COME ON NICEIC, WE DONT PAY OUR FEES FOR FUN!

    Is anyone else getting annoyed with NICEIC Online? I've told myself I'm going to make a conscious effort to start using it in an attempt to phase out day to day use of my computer based software Amtech Fasttest. (Which I find clunky and glitchy). I've just tried to do an EICR and come up against...
