However the customer sent in the original EPC at Band E. When he sent in the new EPC EON have said its too late and they cannot amend his...

Hi All
Please correct me if I'm wrong I was thought that an RCD should trip when you come In contact with a live conductor. Now I have had 2 electric shocks in the last 3 months and on both occasions and the RCD did not trip.The RCD was tested and passed.
Any ideas ?

I was wondering if anyone can answer this one for me. I'm an electricians mate, I did ask the guy I'm with but he couldn't give me an answer.
So after he changed the board and I did the bonding I get to go round testing. Whilst taking the zs of the shower I noticed immediately upon removing...
For the eagle eyed out there, can you tell me whats wrong with this arrangement and for a bonus point what reg. no. would apply.
The only bit of info you need is that its a TT system.

A friend is installing a new cooker which has a rating of 16a. The old one was off a 13a fused switch wired on the kitchen ring as it was only rated at 10a. Can a 20a double pole switch be fitted in its place?
Just a thought/scenario. Domestic customer contacts you to go and look at a house they have purchased, to do a condition report. This is nothing to do with any Napit/niceic scam, you are just doing it independently. They have already suggested you will be doing any remedial work. Upon...
I’ve found a couple of installations (TNCS) where the location of the MET is not clear.
In both cases, gas/water bonding has been run back to either/or the DNO break-out “MET” or to the Consumer Unit. "There can only be one MET"
The first one I sorted out and created just one MET.
The new...
You have been asked to carry out a full test on a ring final circuit. It is wired in 2.5mm single core cables. (I have made the test result values up to make things easier to work out).
You have confirmed that the ring is continuous, and your r1 value is 0.5 ohm, your rn is 0.5 ohm and your r2...

Hi,
a google search brought me here. I've just had a solar pv system installed with a SB5000TL-21. I 've bought a sunny webbox with it so that I can keep a log of the output etc.
I noticed the Country standard is set to AS4777.3, a search revealed that it is an Australian standard. So the...
