Clearly this has the effect of meaning the shower is never isolated after use. Is this acceptable under the current regs? If not which reg should...

    GU10's location

    Cable break location

    Breaks in cables often occur. Has anybody any good ideas how to locate the break point? eg we have an office block in which the cpc is broken. Apart from the obvious ( looking at the fittings), how can we best locate the fault? Is there any method of measuring the length of wire that is intact?

    Location of supply intake

    Hi all, This is my first post so I'll try and keep it short as poss. Did a PIR the other day on a 2 storey flat (student let).
