    Hi guys, I had to carry out some alterations to a domestic installation the other day and was pleasantly surprised when having to run a new circuit how neat the CU was.

    Cooker connected to unfused connection unit with 6mm twin and earth

    Today I found a free standing cooker connected with T&E cable. Since the cooker is bordered by cupboards it is regularly pulled forward about a metre for cleaning the unit and the floor beneath it. This forward movement extends the cable to full stretch while pushing it back makes it hang in a...
