    Hi All. I am wiring a loft conversion and want to avoid covering cables in the insulation. I can clip the cables to the studs on the other side of the wall in the zone parallel to the socket outlets.

    Just removing the sheath on a ring main cable in a 3 terminal junction box.

    Over the years as a DIY-er I've used the old brown 30A circular junction boxes to add spurs to ring mains. I like them as they are strong, secure and visible. I've ALWAYS followed the rules on domestic electricity . Until earlier this year I've been able to check with a cousin who's a...

    EICR ring circuit question

    Doing an EICR and was looking for some advice, testing the socket circuit, it’s a ring circuit. 3 sockets in the living room area, opened 2 up and they both had one cable at it (great). Opened the 3rd and it had 4, so obviously the other 2 sockets are fed from here. Now I know you are allowed to...

    Have come across a 16A Ring Final

    I've not come across this before. The current regs state it should be on a 32A MCB. I've been asked to re-wire a bedroom which will involve extending this ring. It already serves two other bedrooms and the lounge. I know I probably should tell the client to upgrade this MCB to 32A, but is it...

    Spur from ring

    Hi all, Apologies if this has already been posted but I can’t find the answer. It is considered ok to be able to install a socket outlet spurred from a 32A ring. Would it be considered ok to install one single socket directly from the 32A MCB in 2.5 T&E. One socket straight from the MCB...
