I came across some cable today I haven't seen before.
It has some sort of tough, inflexible pvc type sheathing (definitely not rubber). It's quite a light silvery grey and more oval shaped than modern flat T&E.
Rubber insulation.
No CPC.
Probably tinned copper conductors, but maybe even...

I called stroma and they were fine with me joining their scheme with my experience and were helpful. I however, received a list of things I need to send them and all was as expected, except for a CV. I never had to supply a CV when I was a member of NICEIC and haven't even got a CV and have no...
So has Electricians is there any electrical job that you haven't been able to do during your careers that you would love to have a go at.
I think Iwould like to have a crack at something like a castle or possibly a large theatre.
What about everyone else........
Just moved over to the online Certs and filling in the DB schedules for the boards but can't get just the few ways that I need, ie 10L/123, 11/L1. Is it possible to do this or do I need to fill out not worked on/tested for the rest of the ways in the DB to get to where I want?

We all know about the duff max Zs tables in the OSG (Table B6) and GN3 (Table A4)... in fact, I've only just recently updated my GN3, and I'm pleased to say they have reprinted it and it now has the correct tables in.
I've noticed in my (early-purchased, with dodgy table B6) OSG that...
Hi all,
I recently worked direct for a small electrical contractor, I still haven't been paid after nearly 2 months and I don't know what to do. I am having trouble finding out what I can do legally on the net. Does anyone have any advice?

Just a quick question, I've not had much to do at all with pv at all, but I've just been signed up for a 4 day course with the NIC/EIC. Has anyone been on this particular course and is it any good?
Hi just been told I might have afew weeks work doing solar pv installs. I have never done these before. Just looked at the course and its £1500. Haven't had any work for afew weeks so am tempted. However I think it might be better as much as I need the work to pass it on. Is there anyone who...
I'm clearing up unused accounts on most of the forums.
So if people haven't confirmed their new account within 30 days, I'm assuming they're not going to and they'll be erased.
If people haven't logged into the forum for 300 days, and have no posts under their account, I'm assuming they don't...

Right what did I not know before that I can learn!
Nice to have some bedtime reading!
I have a customer that wants to add another 4KWp to a 4KWp we installed last year providing we can get it done by the 31st. I think it will get approval but not before the cut off and have explained that to him but he says he's willing to risk refusal providing he can beat the deadline and make...
Hello All.
I have recently rewired a house, and fitted a TD-Line CU (main switch and all RCBO's).
All has been fine until now, 1x 6a RCBO for the kitchen and TV room lights has started making a sort of buzzing/humming noise. I haven't heard it myself but the client says that it isn't very...
