    G78

    Is any one here educated on G78 regulations? Finding it difficult to get information on it, Spoke to national grid and the DNO and neither are helpful on our side of the water. NICEIC are also struggling.

    F1 Season 2017

    Much like last years thread, testing still ahead, but I wonder whether this years cars will make things more interesting, all will it still be the procession behind the Mercedes's two cars, with the rest, best of the rest? For some reason, contentiously, I've decided on Sky Q to see F1 in ultra...

    How to check the integrity of insulation?

    I recently bought a house and started to rewire it. A sparks mate came and helped with a few bits and I got him capping the chases. He put a nail through a cable in one chase, then told me he may have done it in a couple of other places, he's not sure! I had a plasterer going round behind me...

    Buying a new car or van in 2017

    If your in the market for a new vehicle look carefully as the car tax bands are changing in April. (Don't think any new standard cars built now have high tax brackets and most are free so the treasury cannot cope) March is expected to be the busiest car buying month this year. See New 2017 road...

    PV Systems require more maintenance than other circuits?

    I have been doing quite a lot of service and maintenance work over the last 12 months and have observed a large amount of loose/slack terminations on the AC side of PV systems. I had originally put this down to inexperienced installers rushing to hit deadlines as so many of the installs seem...

    Pendant light with no colour coded wires

    Hi.....I'm new to the forum so go easy please :-) I had to get my ceiling replastered and my pendant light was removed, however there's no colour coding other than the earth. I've a single wire and 2 others tied together so I'm not sure what's neutral and what's live. I've stripped back some...

    Install designs

    When you design an installation and install it, is it a requirement to forward a copy of all the calculations (for cable calcs for example) to the client ? If so, is there a generic name for such a document and should it include anything other than cable calcs? If so anyone have any templates ...

    Home Test Rig for Domestic Installer. Apols in advance for the length of this one...

    As I lack practical experience and recently failed to impress NICEIC into Registering me, I thought I could build my own test rig then test the hell out of it and try to develop fault-finding skills before paying for another assessment. My rig is deliberately non-logical - eg I have a switch on...
