Neutrals in light switch | Page 4 | on ElectriciansForums

Discuss Neutrals in light switch in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

To make the thread more interesting----------------I always wire feed and neutrals to the switches and only have switch wires and neutrals at lights, I wago the connections in the switch boxes and also always use a minimum 10 amp rated switch in domestic situations, pick the bones out of that :smilielol5:
 
Maybe the assessor should be asked where in BS7671 it says what he/she is asking. How can they pick you up on what is just their personal opinion?
 
Ironic that there are thousands of so called qualified spakies out there doing poor work and all this assessor seems to be fussed about is something that is neither against BS7671 nor IMHO of any concern if in a suitable connector etc.... looks like they are trying to justify the extortionate charges the command.

Here here! When you're a lazy sod like me it's far easier and far quicker to wago up your connections at the switch (conveniently placed at arm height!) than up a ladder watching your sleeving continuously fall off your CPCs, back down to get the snips, CRAP! forgot the pliers, oops, need some brown and blue sleeving, hate heights, crooked neck, wobbly ladder, oopsy daisy off I go... Broken neck!

All you "meh, can't three plate at the switches" lot can sod off! :D

Beer? Cheese?
I would say those two are much better than sliced bread, in fact sliced bread is pretty rubbish in comparison.
I think 'the best thing since sliced bread' relates to 'the best thing in recent times' rather than 'the best thing ever', otherwise people would compare things to 'the best thing since beer'.

I really enjoy reading your posts Adam ....... they always are bang on the nail & make a lot of sense!! :)
