A small sub main to the top floor to a small CU for sockets and lighting ?
It's a relief that you guys are almost quoting the conversation I had with the owner!Distribution circuit to an old under-floor heating board?
if anyone guesses what the red and black 6mm circuit was for I'll buy them a virtual beer. (The newer one is the cooker circuit)
A 40 dependent on how bad the runs areIt's a relief that you guys are almost quoting the conversation I had with the owner!
I'd eventually written the 6mm off as (probably) an old shower circuit. I left it disconnected at that point.
I later did a walk around with him to find out what didn't work as I'd also got two 2.5 cables disconnected that had been both in a B32 but I had no end-to end readings.
We found three double sockets in lounge not working.
Then a bit later we found a macerator en-suite toilet (which was directly above lounge) not working.
I temporarily connected each half of the non-ring to a B16 and found one cable got one corner of the lounge working, the other cable got the other corner working. Neither cable got the macerator working...
It still didn't dawn on me until I took the FCU apart and it was the 6mm feed, almost certainly the old shower circuit from the next room repurposed. The guy (who was Dutch) found this really funny and said does that mean I can do a 32 amp sh*t then?
SBS Trade Sales ceased trading last month. Apparently they will offer support to existing customers from available stock.
No idea what happened, but I do remember expressing concerns on other threads about their business model leading to such an occurrence.
David Savery was a big advocate for them, liking the fact that the diyer couldn't purchase..
David Savery put out a video on YouTube about SBS going out of business. In it, he does make some interesting points about (most) other manufacturers effectively discontinuing products by not making them backwards compatible.
I described my very part time business and sent some photos of previous work - he said OK.I don know how/if they verify non-scam victims.
That is indeed disappointing news. I'm now wondering if I should grab some additional RCBOs to cover potential additions at church.SBS Trade Sales ceased trading last month.
But, they didn't make the stuff. The box fronts are branded (from memory) LVE or something like that. So I do wonder about the scope for alternative supplies ?
I've read before the claim that SBS circuit protection was made by Live, but don't know whether there's any truth in the rumour. Do live offer a dual busbar option?
