    Anyone used these new sockets from MK? What are your thoughts?

    Olympics - what’s your thoughts?

(If you can’t display good sportsmanship, then the olympics...

    UK Thoughts on Meter Tails Install?

    I’m rewiring a massive house and there’s a feed to a c.u in the old black rubber cable that needs replacing. I know that Meter tails follow the same guidelines as other domestic wiring, but i’m trying to avoid putting a rcd on supply end of the tails. The run is about 20meters long and going...

    Thoughts on low r2?

    Domestic house, ring final circuit on an rcbo, end to end tests: r1 = 0.95 ohms, rn = 0.98 ohms, r2 = 1.02 ohms. It's rare a reading is too suspiciously good! Sane R1+R2 of around 0.52 for most of house except kitchen area where readings increase wildly suggesting several spurs off spurs so...

    My father In law is selling his property and had a EICR done recently requested by the buyers. I thought the report was not the best quality with some overly harsh codes, codes missing, information missing or conflicting information was wondering what you guys thought and if you agreed. I have...

As can see it is tns but earthing doesn't look to clever to me. It's stranded ali by looks of it. Not sure of CSA of it, looks like could potentially be 10mm at a...

    Thoughts of experts welcome - ancient three phase install?

    Thoughts of experts welcome. The first smart meter installer walked away as he wasn't three-phase qualified but i'm wondering whether we should get Western Power out beforehand or whether any other work would be recommended. Not sure what the supply box on the right is feeding and I think Noah...

    Thoughts on this hybrid configuration

    Hi guys and girls, I've come across this setup and although not exactly standard, can't fault it. What are your thoughts. I'm guessing it's just a hybrid/lollipop config. All cable, including the SWA that runs externally to the garage is 2.5mm t&e. A socket on the ring feeds an adaptable box...
