Morning All,
Currently carrying out an EICR and going through ring final steps with the following readings:
r1: 0.31ohm
rn: 0.32ohm
r2: 0.03ohm
Started taking sockets faces off to find that there is no cpc, only fly lead to metal patress box and steel conduit trunking. (See photo)

I am getting my dads house ready for sale. I need to fix a few things before it is listed. This piece needs a cover and I am not sure where to turn. No one at the hardware store to be found for help. Possibly you can help
Thanks!!!

Hi
I am a current student studying to become an electrician and a question has thrown me. I'm wondering if someone could help, there is a question on one of my home work books. "complete the following table assuming the resistors are connected in parallel?" the example I will give is R1 is 120...
Hi All
I just have my Kitchen done with new sockets, lights etc and they have provided a certificate with only the hob and cooker and it says its an addition.
Would this not come under new and should they included the new lights, light switches installed and plug sockets? I don't want to cause...
I have 2 arrays on 2 SMA inverters. One is 500v single string and the other is paralleled 2 x 300v strings.
I have just lost one of my arrays via SMA 2500. It is lit but no power generation. I replaced with spare Steca which would not work as it needs more PV voltage so I had to swop over the...
Hi all,
I was at a property yesterday and found a number of problems with their installation.
To name a few.
6mm radial supplying a 8.5kW shower and 3.5kW emersion heater on a 32A RCBO.
Extractor fan unfused and spured from shower in 1.5mm cable.
Isolator and light switch in zone 2.
When...
I had a 10 minute look at an existing fault yesterday as walking out of a customers house as it was way past beer o'clock, the circuit is from a dual RCD board. Serves lighting in a loft conversion with balcony (outside lights) en suit, downlights shaver socket, bathroom fan and central pendant...
I've been called by a client to fix a problem exposed by EICR.
Spark put new light and fan in shower, also moved shower switch above bathroom door. Customer wanted EICR, but spark got his mate to do as he can't do EICR. So I'm suspicious he's not part of CPS, below might make you think the same...
Don't know if anyone is interested in Nikola Teslsa, just been watching the search for his missing files.
It's worth watching if you can use catch up TV or google, apparently he spent the last 10 years of his life in the Hotel New Yorker, in a double suite, he was apparently flat broke, so the...
Hi All, I'm doing remedial work for one property following unsatisfactory EICR to rectify C2 issues.
I'm slightly amused by some quotes left on the report by another electrician.
Here it is
"No accesible isolator switch for oven" C2
I had a look and found that the oven is 13a rated...
Hi,
I am currently searching high and low for my orginal City & Guilds Certificate in Electrical Installation Theory and Practice Part Two but cannot find it anywhere. I have the unit credit awards but not the final certificate. I applied to City and Guilds and they do not hold my full...
If there is blanks missing from a CU what code would this be.
Scenario 1 .. 6 blanks missing from a CU in a corridor cupboard
Scenario 2 8 blanks missing from a locked corridor cupboard
Looking at 3 diffrent reports they have same faults but have been coded differently.
I seem to remember there was a discussion recently about/guards removable without a tool, and there were comments that people with tools can still put themselves at risk.
Even if switchgear or accessories are open, theoretically the basic insulation and shields should protect you from accidental...
Recommend anyone with a catch up or recording facility record the search for Tesla's missing files on the History channel looks very good, I'm just watching S1E1
Returned to install/second fix led pir flood, switched live hidden in kitchen cupboard to over ride, did all connections, worked perfectly, went to check night time performance and nothing, for some reason no voltage going to the switch live in the kitchen cupboard, nothing tripped, everything...
Been to quote for a job this morning, The house has 2 CU's one is eco7 for 5 storage heaters, the other was upgraded in 2009 and all wylex rcbo's. Meter tails, bonding all up to scratch, the DNO upgraded the cutout to PME in 2009 with the previous work.
The owner is going to have the heaters...
