Hi All,
We are just finishing a new build of 4 shops and 9 flats which contain a lift as well, we have carried out all our testing and commisioning and where we had installed the emergency light in the lift motor room the lift installer has extended our circuit into the lift shaft for the shaft...
One of my regular Customers: a landlord, has had a letter today from his LA, stating that he must have RCDs in all his Rental houses.
Very limited information received, but I am waiting for a copy of said letter.

What is best practice with regard to labelling of the equipment and wiring of PV installations?
My domestic 3.9kW system, installed in November by a contributor to this forum has not one label on it anywhere. However browsing photos on PVoutput.org suggests that comprehensive labelling of...
Evening Guys, I have look for a similar thread on here and can't really find one that matches, so here we go again...

The main of them are about...
