Hi guys
I am currently in the process of applying for Mcs Accreditation and am creating my own QMS document as opposed to buying one in.
One area we have not previously done but are now looking into is the internal audit section. Just posting to see if anyone could maybe help out and point me...

I have installed eight LED garden lights (5.4w) and a couple of PIR lights (400w total) via a Fused Spur (5amp).
When the lights are turned on via the FS the socket circuit MCB trips (RCD is ok). MCB can be flipped on and stays on.
Wiring looks good.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.
can i drop cables down 100mm internal metal studded plasterboard walls as someone says i cant becouse the gap cuold be less than 50mm each side of cable, if not what should i do if i cant use rcd on the curcuit.
As soon as I turn my mft1552 onto ohms or irt, it constantly bleeps at me and flashes 72v. When turned to rcd test it doesn't bleep but just displays less than 100v.I bought it in January and got it calibrated then. It has only been used once since.Please help as I'm getting nowhere talking to...

Since the main feed is wired into the boiler, then a switched live, switched neutral and boiler demand is taken to the wiring centre (no...

Hi
tried to do a Zs at a house today and my meter displayed
"fus"
NEVER seen this before. Not in the manual. Not the fuse symbol because thats ...different.
Can anyone shed light?
The funny thing is I have not used it since it was calibrated last week.

Hi,
generally speaking if a afluorescent light isn't working is there any quick way of narrowing down the problem between the starter, the tube and the ballast/choke. Apart from changing starters and tubes (and i can't carry the latter around on the off-chance) is there a way of testing each...
They have all disappeared on a recall. But Wylex wont say what the problem is. Nor will they allow you to take back one you have brought. Anyone know more?

Hi all,
I'm getting an odd reading from my megger 1552,when trying a zs it is showing >500 and the fuse symbol is showing.
I have got new fuses,with the same result.
Has the tester somehow got fried from greater than 500volts?
