I've treated myself to the IET Electrical Installation Design guide. I've been looking at section 3.5 Complex Installations. There is a calculation for calculating demand based on number of dwellings in a group.
Please see picture of relevant page.
Seems simple, sub domain is 66.44A, demand...
I do a lot of ev charging so do a lot of rod installations. If impedance is over 100 ohms on the rod the RCD will trip on x1 but will not trip on x5. I have tried different RCDs etc but this always seems to be the case....anyone know why this is? The RCDs are type A so DC sensitive..
It's proposed in the 18th edition that any new pme installation is to have a rod added by the electrician that has has a resistance of 30ohms or less. What are people's thoughts on this? My main concern is the amount of services that are going to get hit with everyone driving rods in.....also my...
Hey guys
I'm very interested to find out what I will be learning on this course, the college guide was lacking a bit on info.
Anyone done this course before or knows roughly what it includes/covers?
Cheers :)
Hello,
I'm 17 years old and I recently left sixth form to persue my dream career as an electrician but I have one single problem- I have no idea which college I should go to. I have looked at 3 colleges; college of north west london, City of Westminster College, Barnet Southgate college...
Good evening everyone.
I live in a rural area and as such get asked to do work on farms so I'm looking to find out how others go about certain types of farm installations.
I find the division of circuits quite difficult without spending a fortune on switch gear and RCDs, especially on 3 phase...

Hi Everyone,
I have been told that when I join a Part P scheme I have to complete an EICR form for every installation or addition to a circuit before I can do any work on the circuit. So even putting a new socket on a bedroom circuit I have to complete an EICR form. To do that I have to have...

A question, if you please...
When testing an existing installation BS 7671 states that it should be tested to the current edition of regs, and that doesn't necessarily mean the installation will be dangerous if wired previous to that edition.
My question is, how should you code for no RCD...

Before adding anything to a circuit it is necessary to ensure that main bonding and earthing are up to standards. This is fairly straight forward for a domestic property, but what does it mean for a larger property.
The example I'm thinking of is the school I work in (part-time now, slowly...

Recently read a thread on the forum that I thought I'd bring to the attention of others. Hopefully it'll help cut out scamming in the industry, if that's what it is. I'll let you decide.
A company called MyHome Installations Limited, website MyHomeUK.co.uk, was hard-selling "Wolf of Wall...
So I go and install a new socket circuit this week in an industrial warehouse. The job is straight forward enough. Surface mounted metal socket outlet fed using a short run of swa from a local db board. Anyhow just before I began testing the new circuit I asked the maintenance spark if he had...
