Take the dishes out first, Del… moves easier

I see he's just left the customer to continually reset the tripping RCD 'until they can get someone to sort the dishwasher out'. Solid plan.

was it the customer or Dels apprentice?!! he seemed to be doing most of the work!
someone should explain to Del how a SFS works, you dont have to unwire it to disconnect the load...

Stopped watching him and CJR. I don’t think showing bad and or dangerous practice to the public enhances our trade at all.

AGREEE

AGREEE

Its like slowing down to look at a car accident, you know its not a good idea and wont achieve anything but you just cant help yourself!!!

Some aren't DP and won't isolate a N-E fault.

The majority certainly are, but apparently not all. Can't remember if this was discovered through the misfortune of someone in work or a nugget of information from this forum.

@goasis

You got me thinking about this and, while I don't have access to a copy of BS1363, it seems as though it requires switched fuse spurs to isolate both poles. Unless this is incorrect, only a very old one could switch line only.

If I can find a spare £276 down the side of the settee, I'll get a copy of BS1363-4 and clear this up

Managed to read the standard and stand corrected as switches on fused connection units must disconnect both poles.

In more recent years they are all DP but in the past SP versions were available.

Without digging out the regs books, can anyone comment on the RCD socket he removed and replaced with a regular socket? Isn't a socket there full stop against regs since it's directly over a sink?
