I am going to install a log burner in an open plan kitchen breakfast room. I think the Belling cooker hood, on it's highest setting, is extracting too much air. Setting 1 and 2 seem to be ok. To satisfy my burner fitter, is it possible to disable setting 3 on the hood. If so, how is it done. Thanks.
I recently bought a Fluke 1664FC. It's great but recently I chose to do a loop test on the no trip setting. Plugged the 3 wires in but noticed the screen says it's set for a L-N test with only Live and Neutral plugged in. I pressed F1 button to change this to L-PE, the tester beeps but it...

Good evening,
I have a few questions requiring your expertise:

The overload relay trip setting should be set to 44A when connected in Delta and set to 44/(root 3)=25.4A when connected in Star.
Is this statement correct?
2)

Hi,
Just wondering what people interpretations of the regs are regarding metal CU's in a commercial setting. I've seen some people code them C3 on an EICR and others say that the Metal CU's are just for domestic settings. I've read the regs and I think they could be read either way. Anyone any...
