    Is boiling water on a Baby Belling-type cooker safe?

    Dear Electrical Experts. Hokay, I know the question sounds stoopid - but here's the thing. I've not had an electric kettle for awhile because they kept blowing the mains circuits - the last 2 went rabid, if you turned them on the mains instantly turned off. I live in a one-room flat...

    Is this appliance wiring safe?

    Hi. We just removed a broken washing machine and saw it and a dryer had been wired together to the same wall box. The appliance wires had been merged and wired in as if one appliance. Is it safe to repeat this with a new washer?

I think the right way according to regs is to trace it back, make sure it's dead then pull the cable out of the wall...

    Opinions on making safe

    What do you guys prefer to do if carrying out a ‘make safe job’ for example exposed conductors accessible to touch. Do you lock off (you may not be the person doing the work next) or do you disconnect the circuit and label what the problem is?
