Fused Spurs?

[mark80]

Correct me if im wrong but aslong as the spur isn't in a bathroom or a kitchen then he wouldn't need part P? If it literally is a spur that is and not a new circuit from the D.B.
Obviously the bonding issue etc you would need to take into consideration and test equipment as other people have said.

Give the Geezer a break..he installs alarms,run off Electrickery..not bleeding water,so he must have some understanding of it all.....and at least hes asking questions to make sure he does it right and not just going for it...how many sparks put alarms/security systems in without even reading the manual,then stand there like a prize ***** scratching themselves when theres bells ringing all around them...calm down with the **** responses,people are on here firstly for information...to ask,to pass it on or to verify...not to be made small by turds who are lacking in confidence!!!!!!!!!!

I asked a question.. What are are the requirements / qualifications to install a fused spur.

Your answer given was.. Become an electrician!

Moral of this story, 'Become' a Plumber before replacing your bathroom taps, and / or (also) before asking how it is done on a forum.

I think all parties need to take a breath, I can see all sides of the discussion, last time checked the regs I don't think changing Bathroom taps could induce a 50mA leakage to a human resulting in death, what your doing could...BUT your quite right to ask how to do it correctly in my view, so your going the right route, do a defined scope course, learn the Physics and principles behind the relationship between current/Voltage/ resistance and you will be much wiser and much safer IMHO

just come back in and had a read through a couple of posts on here. for a moment i thought i was on one of the other forums. lets NOT let this one go the same way. the way we conduct ourselves on here is, if we don`t want to reply to a question we Don`t. keep it civil and keep the good standards up that we have achieved on here it`s a great place to be lets not spoil it.

Probably not the politically correct answer on here, but it is the right one, get Part P qualification and 2391 testing and you are then considered competant to install

How do you get a Part P qualification when there is no such thing?

To put in a fused spur, spur off a local socket if it hasnt been spurred off already, surface mount cable so no RCD needed as long as it isnt in a special location covered by part P. Do the required tests Insulation resistance and earth fault loop impedence and R1 R2. RCD if applicable.Issue minor works, Job done.
Get someone to show you how to test properly and fill in the paperwork.

Cheers.........Howard

agree totally with above we are talking very basic minor electrical work here that most homeowners would do themselves regardless, learn the basic rules that need to be applied.

just about to move bt points and associated cabling etc, should i retrain as a bt engineer first - of course not, let common sense prevail.

i blame those alarm engineers,always causing trouble....we know nothing..messing about with little 12v cables..

Re Telecom.. Nikky pocket Guide says Telephone and similar data and ELV wiring in a special location is notifiable work
although I can find no reference quickly to this in the approved document.

True. Also 2391-10 does not deal with installation. It is an Inspection, Testing and Certification course. People can install without it (in fact you are supposed to be a Qualified Electrician before attempting it.)

Thats all very well, but its a slightly different kettle of fish installing 230 volts and getting it wrong or installing a security system where if you get it wrong the bells go off. annoying yes but probably not hazardous
