Just seen this on a YouTube short and thought I’d screenshot it. People chucking dog muck in a damaged ULEZ cabinet.
Is that a service cut out with exposed live parts?
Hi everyone! I am thinking of replacing the old switches in my flat with some new ones. I unscrewed a double switch yesterday from the wall and then I also unscrewed the face of the switch. This is when 2 small metals parts fell and I have no idea how to put them back; first of all I don't know...
Just to be clear… I am going to do the correct thing here and pay for the correct parts…. I just wanted to start the discussion.
My particular situation on a job, all I’m doing is adding to an rfc. Moving a couple of sockets off the skirting board, adding a fcu up to a switch, then wall...
Hi, I'm not an electrician and know nothing about electrical DIY. I'm looking for advice on parts I need to identify so I can buy the right things/tools. Am I in the right place? :) Thanks

During an EICR I have come across a metal tap and copper pipes supplied by a blue plastic pipe.
This measures 0.022 MegOhms, this is directly under the consumer unit which is metal.
Is this an extranous conductive part?
During an EICR I have found an isolator with no cpc present bolted to a large metal post and all the motorized metal car park gate, the fact that the isolator has been moved but the cpcs are not present.
I get a zs from the metalwork of 36 ohms, as the wires pass though I class this as exposed...
So to try & keep confidentiality, a broad question without specifics;
A manufactured bed, mechanically operated by electrically powered motors. The metal bed frame would raise and lower the bed, and also be able to raise/lower the head of the bed and the foot of the bed. Would the metal bed...

In the garage there is a water pipe fed from the house, at the house it is bonded using 10mm, at the garage bonded with 6mm. I think the...
Well our own shower broke last nigh (don't worry - we have a bath as well!)
The thermal switch is deceased (gone to it's maker, pushing up the daisies ....) it's part 1746.436 or 4.1746.436.
Simples - nope not really, I just can't find one in stock anywhere, I have sort of ordered from city...
Hi all, quick question, I have come across a 230V control circuit supplied from an Isolation Transformer. The controls are located within a metal clad enclosure near to local socket outlets and other accessories.
I have measured continuity between the metal casing of the controls enclosure and...
Do extraneous conductive parts such as hand railing have to be bonded back to the MET or can they be linked to a known earth ie uni strut or cable tray?
Yes, still doubting my own judgement when it comes to supp bonding and EICRs, so would welcome any thoughts on the latest one.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
These parts are modifications for a portable turntable, and I'm looking to save some money by gathering the parts myself.
Hello,

I am getting into the habit of stripping fuse boxes and consumer units when I replace them. However I was wondering which parts of the CU are copper.
Neutral and earth bars?
The screws in the neutral and earth bars?
