    Regulations on Terminal Block wrapped in electrical tape

    Hi, I'm a council tenant and just had some work done in my kitchen, which included a new electrical installation. There was previously a single sockets ring main, and a new kitchen sockets ring main was added, which in itself seems fine. But I'm concerned about the pre-existing ring main. This...

    Hi folks. TN-S System with MET near incoming as you would expect. The 10mm2 bonding conductor (gas) passes through the CU to reach the MET due to the physical layout. Is there any reason why it can't be terminated inside the CU alongside the 16mm2 earthing conductor. Obviously testing of...

    I worked out what a neon screwdriver is for
