    Just a thought on RFCs

    Read the question wrong sorry... I would just put the cable size on the test sheet and be done with it

    Just a thought on RFCs

    It's stated on p82 or p84 of bs7671 that every single leg of cable on a ring final circuit has to be able to manage 20A alone for the ref method it's Installed. P364 of bs7671 gives the current carrying capacities of twin and earth cable. A ring circuit wired with a ref method of 101 in 2.5mm...

    EICR code

    Sorry I should have said that before, each one separately protected by its on Mcb inside the hook up. So the regs mentioned above are satisfied, im just worried about the loops in and out to each point, being on the 63A mcb

    EICR code

    I'm doing a EICR on a caravan site. Came across 5 circuits each supplying about 13 16A socket outlets. All are protected by 63 A mcbs and all wired in 6mm twin armoured cable buried underground. The cable rating for the cable is 46A with the ref installed etc. Im undecided if I should code 3...

    Down lights

    In the real world there probably would never be an issue with LEDs. Although if anything happens (slim chance, but possible) and they pull the manufacturers data out in court, you have had it. It's mainly out of curiosity that I'm wondering if a model exists. I'm going to try and suggest...

    Down lights

    True. But they have to be installed 50mm away from joists. On this particular structure I'm not going to be able to achieve that

    Down lights

    Does anyone know of a brand of LED down lights where in the manufacturers data, there is no minimum space they have to be installed away from joists and can be covered by thermal insulation? I have a potential job where installing any of the brands I am familiar with will be impossible to comply...

    2394/2395

    That course won't refresh your technical knowledge, it's purpose is to teach you how to navigate around the madness that we call BS:7671 in a timely fashion. If you want a great revision book then look for the 2394/5 revision books by a guy named Chris Kutcher I think his name is.... I'm not...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC Scheme In Scotland?

    Haha access to tea is probably a tickbox on the contractor assessment. I think if they get the impression that you understand electricity is dangerous and why it's important we follow the regs and manufacturers data of what we install, then you can't go far wrong, as long as your knowledge on...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC Scheme In Scotland?

    I had to do three notifiable jobs for my NICEIC assessment all on different sites. Did you not receive a guide to help you pass first time when you paid for the assessment? My advice is to just relax and take it as it comes. Don't be afraid to ask questions either, the guy I had really knew his...

    Kitchen Diner Downlights - too many!?

    Might be worth temp wiring up one to a plug and holding it up to the ceiling and if you have someone with you, you can switch places and give each other your opinions
