    UK Can a 1.5kW wall mounted convector heater be supplied via a 13A fused plug?

    Apparently Dimplex only guarantee their heaters if they are permanently wired in to a fused outlet. If the socket is only about 600mm from the heater and the cable is clipped to the wall or skirting board instead of trailing across the floor then what's the difference? Any thoughts?

    Wylex REC2S screws supplied?

    This might seem like a dumb question, but I got a Wylex REC2S isolator and there are no screws for fixing the covers on. Am I unlucky they have been lost from this box, or is there some obscure part I also need to order to get the fasteners to hold the covers on?

    Earthing and Battery supplied Inverters

    Hi All, When I heard reports on the radio of people not being able to run their gas central heating because of a power cut, it got me thinking. Is there any reason a gas boiler couldn't be run on an inverter and a battery? I was thinking there might be a potential issue with some ac making...

    Spur supplied from cooker circuit

    3Ph sub-mains supplied via 5-core NYY, not SWA. OK or not?

    Good morning I need to fit a new 3 phase dis board in an annexe I'm building at my own house. Usually I'd use SWA, or singles in conduit/trunking, but as the run is all in loft space and not liable to physical damage (no rodents), I'm thinking of using surface-clipped 5-core 16mm NYY instead...
