    Distribution circuits in Section 705 location, RCD needed?

    I just want to check how I should be interpreting section 705. 705.411.1 states required disconnection devices, the first two indents covering final circuits and sockets, requiring 30ma and 100ma RCD's depending on rating of socket. Indent 3 says " all other circuits" need 300ma RCD. Does that...

    Section 7 checklists

    When doing an EICR on something like a swimming pool there is a section on the inspection checklist which asks about any other special locations and asks to record the results of the inspection separately. My question is are there any templates for inspections for special locations (especially...

    BS7671 Section 740 ADS via OCPD Query

    As with previous posts, I'm always somewhat ginger about posting questions like this, because there may be something obvious I'm overlooking which could make me look foolish. But as the old adage goes, 'there are no stupid questions' (well, not completely true, but anyway), and if it helps with...

    ATEX section?

    I know we've got boards for the main categories of sparkle; domestic, commercial and industrial but after watching a SparkyNinja webinar on Electricians and ATEX, I found it facinating and it got me thinking about here and noticed we don't have an ATEX section for all the quirky differences...

    I am really struggling with the section 7 of the Napit Installation Cert. The reason is because the demo forms I have filled in during the course and examples elsewhere all seem to contradict eachother and it appears many people can't agree either. So by going through forums and looking at...
