Voltz.
I'd like to test, my house.
Pictured, is the DNO main earth in my house.
If I find the braiding is detriorated in anyway,
1. Can I replace with a 16mm earthing conductor ?
2. Or do I have to call the DNO ?

Evening all,
This is a ridiculously long thread, so I dont expect anyone to read it all so I think I'm just looking to see if I'm in the right ball park. I have a friend (experienced electrician) helping me with this job and he will look over the quote as well, but I'd appreciate some opinions...

I have just completed an EICR! Its taken a while to write up!
I have to emphasise that I am not recommending the chap change his crabtree CU and wylex fuse box, I am offering it as a suggestion and have made it clear that it is not dangerous. However, I am changing the bottom RCD anyway (poor...
Hi,
I went to quote for a potential rewire this morning, either that or new fuse box with remedial work etc..
anyway, the kids were all watching TV and in the middle if a film or something, oh it's a rewireable fuse box.

Hi All

I have 30 + Aurora DLL991 brass spots for sale, 12v with transformers and 35w lamps.
Used condition but all working
Absolute bargain at £30
Would be worth buying for transformers alone for anyone in the domestic / commercial industry.
See ebay auction : 331227200197
As above. Don't really get involved with PV. But it's come up on a job. It's on a new build school in Stamford.
Is there anyone that fancies providing us with a quote? I'll send all details and spec via email.
Cheers.
Hi,
I know there have been many threads on this previously, but I am having a problem understanding ome of the detail.
The situation is this, I am not a qualified electrician but have dabbled around the house for many years, although doing only very basic stuff as I know my limitations.
