    Rather interesting fault finding video

    It's nice to see a real world fault-finding video that at least aims to follow a logical process. As we occasionally get posts about how to fault find I thought I'd share it. It's also realistic that there a few head scratcher moments where nothing quite makes sense, and the value of keeping...

    UK Standardising on site to TP & N Sockets rather than TP and no N

    Hi I have a site where they have some sockets fed via Three Phase and Neutral and others TP with no N. Rather than both types of sockets for both types of appliances, was looking at 'standardising' and upgrading all plugs to TP and N. And where the appliance did not need a N, it would be left...

    Can I just do 2391-51 periodic rather than the 2391-52 combined if I already have NVQ level 3

    Hi lads I've been qualified for over 2 years now. I'm wanting to get my testing qualification. At college we did the 2394 initial verification at that time. I remember been told that after we pass our am2 we could do the periodic inspection 2395 which would then give a complete testing qual...

    A Rather Obvious Forged EICR

    I know for a fact that the attached EICR is a forgery. I suspected as much even before I had been given a copy of the report. My suspicions were confirmed the moment I noticed that the tester had entered 25 years as the estimated age of the installation. The installation is in fact, brand-new...

    Rather Low R1+R2 Query

    Quick query I’m hoping someone can clear up. Im just looking at an example of a schedule of test results in a book I’m studying and I’ve come across an example I don’t understand. A lighting circuit protected by a 6amp 60898 Type C (Ref Method 100) using 1.5/1.0 T&E is measuring out R1+R2 at...

    Suspicious, and rather disturbing turn of events

    background. I have a property for sale that I had rented out. The tenant left back in March and we’ve been trying to sell since. The house is empty, we have keys and the estate agent has a set. We had a viewing at 6pm tonight, so my wife and I turned up at 5 to give it a quick hoover and a...

    Tails (or rather T&E) behind skirting.

    Hello all. About to do a CU change and from the pre works visit it looks like the 16mm T&E from the meter is run 3m to the CU behind the skirting board. No mechanical protection seen. TNS. Ze = 0.28ohms. This clearly isn't acceptable and I shall advise getting it changed but my question is...

    I'd rather install Ikea light fittings

    Than these horrible EM fittings from a national wholesaler. Designers need to try and install things like this themselves... 2x 1.5mm were a very snug fit. Beer time...

    Rather High Ze with all the bonding in place

    Carrying out an EICR on a property in london, the supply is a TN-S supply with an incorrect tenby earth clamped around the PILC Sub mains cable. Long lead tested all the main bonds and i am very surprised to still get such a high reading with these parallel paths in place. 3.25ohms With the...

    Daily email summary rather than mutiple emails per day?

    Is there any way to have emails sent in a digest way? Many of my other forums offer the option to get one daily email with all the days email alerts in summary form. My inbox is filling with electrician forum emails !

    Anyone drive a pickup rather than a van?

    As the title, I'm thinking about changing from a Vivaro to a pickup. It wouldn't have as much carrying capacity, but that would just make me more disciplined about what ai carry. Sooo, has anyone made a similar change and if so with what result - happy, big mistake, or.....???

    NAPIT Certification Scheme Rather strange Napit offer at Elex Show

    Just looking at the Elex Show at Sandown, and Napit have a rather strange offer; NAPIT - £100 off selected applications. Looks like they are offering to give £100 towards joining Elecsa/NICEIC. How nice of them :hurray: Or have I got that wrong :rofl:

    Evening.. I have been trying to think of the best way to attach a bonding clamp to a steel structure and could do with some opinions please. At present I am thinking of a bolt through one of the steel columns and attach the clamp to this, but I'd rather get the clamp on a smooth surface...
