Right people, you have done all the courses, have all the cards required to get you onto sites, including the pseudo qualification "Part P". you're an Electrician.
You start out on your own, but the only work available to you at the moment is house bashing and the odd Domestic job, suddenly an opportunity of a years work refurbishing offices comes your way.
Do you think nah I'm a Domestic Electrician can't be doing that sort of work (forget the Domestic installer at the moment) you're an Electrician be proud of it. Because you are more skilled at Domestic stuff do you go for this or leave to others because you class yourself as a Domestic Electrician? even though your best mate who you trained with is now working on the office refurbishment and loving it, the same could be said about Industrial work.
I guess what I'm saying is what do you class yourself as Domestic, Commercial or Industrial, in fact should you be classifying yourself at all, you have all the relevant tickets,cards qualifications etc.
I was lucky I worked for a contractor that did all 3 of these installations so I had a well rounded Apprenticeship, so come on Guys and Gals you're Electricians don't think that just because you are more experience at 1 or the other that's all you should be doing, easier said than done you may say, but you're ELECTRICIANS be proud of that fact. Sorry for the rant. What do you think?
 
I have worked on industrial/domestic/test and inspection,I think of myself as being very unfortunate
If only I had picked the correct 6 numbers I could have said goodbye to the whole lot of it long ago and specialised in leisure :)

I agree Des whole heartedly. I retired I thought I could start this game up again. I don't know what I was thinking. :(
 
pitch manure. that's about the level of heinlein's spouted garbage.

Lol..... so you went from not knowing about him in one post to being an expert in the next! Very good :joycat::joycat:

Its not a tattoo down my back! It's just a quote I like when people talk about being specialist, especially in the field of Fire Alarms and IT.

Can we get back on track with this thread?, it seems to have drifted somewhat.
 
don'tmention leisure in south wales, des. as a welsh leisure centre is 3 sheep tied to a lamp post. :eek::eek::eek:
Thought that was a night club Tel, or a dating agency. A thought, how come we can take the rise like this and everyone thinks it a good laugh, and no malice meant but make a joke about : a Pakistani, Indian, Hebrew, you get the picture and you get called a racist?
 
Don't as a rule do domestics, as I don't want to.
Don't as a rule do shop fitting either.
Prefer industrial.
Doing shop fitting at the mo, boss wants me to snip off the CPC in the cable we're using for an RFC, and instead use a separate 'clean earth' cable that is coloured white (no sleeping).
Though it's an RFC, we can run the earth as a radial, as it's 6mm2 and the RFC conductors are only 2.5mm2.
 
Wouldn't that take the CPC safety from the cable you are running - what are the rules on this @spinlondon? Surely it can be paralleled for safety AND have the function of the clean earth?
 
Not sure what makes an earth clean.
Heard people speak of them, but no one has ever explained it.
Regulations require all conductors of a ring, to be run as a ring.
Regulations allow the colour cream (or off white) to be used as a functional Earth (i.e. something connected to Earth, but is not a protective conductor), protective conductors must be green/yellow.
