Hi everyone.
I have been asked to relocate a consumer unit from a cupboard outside a house into the inside of the property. The main fuse and meter will be remaining outside however the run is about 6/7 metres long, i believe it states in BS7671 that the meter tails cannot exceed 3m in length...
I'm sure this subject is on a sticky thread somewhere, so apologies.
Got asked to look at a shower that was tripping the MCB as soon as isolator turned on. House is rented, so tenant just wanted advice for a pint.
Took me 2 minutes to tell him to get landlord to have it replaced.
I took the...

I had some glands recently that were not the usual decent quality.
The rubber inserts were stiff and wouldn't compress too well.
Annoyed me as I bought them for a Cu change and had to use some horrid membrane glands instead to get the job done.
I emailed the customer services asking why the...
Have been reluctantly roped into checking out a job for someone, more as a favour. It’s a hall that is used every week but not every day. Basically one of the three main fuses has blown twice now so I’m told. It’s a 3 phase supply each with a 63A fuse. The fuse is housed in one of those old 3...

Hi all,
My brother has just bought a new house, which is to be fully refurbished. The wiring is appaling and barely meets a single reg; current or historical. (no part of either RFC seems to actually be a ring, lighting on 15A 3036 fuse in 1mm, spurs under the carpet etc etc)
All of this will...

They do stock and provide us any manafacture we require , and provide us a good service , but I do know these prices are highly inflated , even dearer than general public prices
Which really annoys me...
So I was at a 2 bed flat today, ground floor on 4 storey block. 3 years old flats. The supply head holds a red fuse holder reading " solid link, do not fuse". TN-S and the CU is just off the bottom of this shot below the 100A isolator. ~75 cm tails.
"Fuse" is all crimp sealed, I didn't pull...

Who is this? say I
I CANT TELL YOU WHO I AM I HAVE A SECRET CRUSH ON YOU
Put the phone down
Check the internet for who the number is, it is CEF. Call them and someone answers and like me finds it very weird. They say they will ask technical...
I have uploaded a photo, I am wanting to make some modifications on my flat (upper flat, 2 flats in one building) is this a looped service in the photo? also how would I go about potentially moving the whole CU and meter is it DNO responsibility to update it?
Thanks for any help.
Just seen this on a social media site.

Come across something I've not seen before. Basically from what I can gather a mains water stop cock & sink has at some point been moved to a different location in a kitchen. What we have is main water pipe (copper or similar) entering building at old stop cock location & there is a 10mm earth...
Hello
I'm wanting to know if anyone on here works as a service engineer for biogas plants?
Reason I'm asking is I'm looking at getting into the renewable sector and wanted to know if it's a good career choice and what sort of work is involved.
Thanks matty
Just after some advice and insight from other people experience and opinions on this one, I've been thinking about advertising 24/7 on emergency call out service, but I'm a little dubious as to whether it is worth doing...
What are people thoughts on this? I guess the million dollar question...
Hello guys
Turned up to a job today and carried out the usual checks on the earthing system before i began work and found the supply authorities earthing conductor had been a piece of 1.5mm bare cable wrapped around the outside of the SWA, it looked like a real bodge job.
I said to the client...
Hi People.
Please can you help.
Yes I have tried a search but all I have found is that their web site should give a price.
Anyhow.. enough waffling.
A friend is going to convert their garage into a bedroom. The DNO supply and meter are in the garage.
The hubby want to move it to the outside of...
