How cables get from CU to first floor / loft

[Guest77]

I've corrected that for you.

I think that is harsh, he may well be telling the truth and should be helped if a genuine trainee, check to see if he is a Electrical Trainee first, if so then your comment is justified lol.

his profile clearly states he's an apprentice.

Thanks to everyone that was kind enough to help me out on the questions i asked. I actually am an apprentice industrial electrician for those few cynical members who posted. Domestic wiring is very simple it is just how cables access & leave wall cavities that interested me, thats all my questions were about. I will just ask the electrical engineers that i work with or my training officer from now on if i have any other domestic queries.

Peterdaniels & trev - thanks for the support guys. I think im defo heading in the right direction, im hoping to follow a few of my friends into the offshore wind farm sector in Britain & Germany. Money is incredible (100k). Once im qualified im going to sit my seimens s7 plc course & the relevant access safety courses & hopefully i will have enough contacts to get in.

Thanks again for your help guys

Wullie, there is a thing called Part P in England which has led to a Electrical Trainee category of short course trained 'domestic installers'.

Some idiots don't even look and see you are from Scotland and therefore think to themself 'Is he a proper trainee or a hated Electrical Trainee'. If you can put up with some robust views the site is actually quite good so I would advise you to stick around. There is even a trainee section where you should be able to get answers without abuse.

your right there, its good there thinking and asking questions, i don't do my am2 till april but im bound to ask the odd silly now and again.

yes go up the wall cavity and straight up to loft

There are no SILLY questions, there are only questions that you don't know the answer to!

 

[telectrix]

just as there are no problems, only solutions. might have that as my signature since none of you believe my PHD etc.

Good luck with your apprenticeship and further studies. I'm glad you got some constructive answers to your questions and apologies for the rough ride in the other replies, it appears the season of goodwill to all men is coming late this year.

the season of goodwill to all men

When is that?

 

[Marvo]

I didn't get the memo but I'm suspecting it was canceled.

Run the lighting cables up to the loft in a zone. I.e follow a switch, socket route.

i.e. not in the cavity!

Wireless electricity is the future for Domestic Wiring.

Out from CU into transmitter & beamed from there into every room of the property with ne'er a chase, conduit or capping in sight.

No, but all occupants will be required to don a tinfoil hat on entering the premises to avoid frying their brains.
