    IR Tests & Fault Finding

    straight to I&T....

    Probably a stupid question but is it ever done to get into inspection and testing with a very small amount of practical experience achieved? Enjoying this part of the C&G course as I am it seems a shame that it would have to be a minimum of five years before I could do it again. Fair enough...

    Bathroom extract fan installation, flex outlet or not?

    Hello all, I've been reading posts on here about bathrrom extracts, and got me thinking. Do you guys install a flex outlet adjacent to them or do you simply go straight in to the fan. I've always used a flex outlet, as these things never tend to last over 2/3 years and it makes replacement...

    oven with 13amp socket

    I have an electric oven with a fused 13amp plug connected. If I remove the plug would it be ok to change the wire from the cooker to a 4 or 6mm t and e and wire it straight into the cooker outlet plate?

    RCBO's

    Why do manufacturers give RCBO's curly neutral cables? When you fit them into the board they look a right mess, especially when there are a lot of them. If they were given straight neutral cables you would be able to dress them all neatly down to the neutral bar just as you do with your...

    Hi all, I've got a new build project just confirmed today, and already hit the first head-scratcher. It's a timber frame building (or will be!) and the main incoming to the house is via SWA from an adjacent pump room which is acting as a central hub for various sub-mains and where the income...

    Hi Newly MCS accredited and looking at a 4kW ground mount system to quote for....yikes! I'm thinking of the Schuco system which seems pretty robust, along with concrete pads. However, I'm wondering what sort of 'design' is required for the concrete. Is it 'make it big and heavy' so it...
