That involved Mains electrics in installations, edit suites and Post Production facilities way way back when things were far less complicated. The mains work I was involved with...

    IR testing and smoke alarms

    Hi - a forum post got me thinking about domestic fire alarms and BS5839. I haven't bought the Standard (just check the prices ...) but the IET's Electricians Guide to Fire Detection and Alarm Systems is a handy guide book, a brother to OSG and similarly priced. Also I picked up Aico's...

    2.5 ohm lead sheaf

    Hi customer of mine currently has 2.5 ohms on a old lead sheaf, unfortunately its one like many where the braized earth has been cut off and a pipe clamp stuck on the sheaf, leading to the local networks to give their normal response- not our responsibility, can't be bothered, not enough profit...

    How much do you strip back?

    I note some very neat an tidy consumer unit wiring in the installation photos above. Out of interest, how much excess conductor do you allow to cater for breakages or potential moment to a more distant connection point in the box? I appreciate that an excess of cable in a small CU is not...
