    Personal tool insurance

    Yes, however my situation is different. I am employed and the MFT and power tools are provided by the company and covered by the van insurance. When I joined, the company made a point of saying ALL tools were insured in the van, however, they have swapped insurance provider without letting us...

    Personal tool insurance

    Hi, I am employed by a housing association and they have changed van insurance and made it clear my tools are not insured. I cannot find any company that will insure my personal tools without it being part of business insurance. Does anyone know a company that does offer suitable...

    I would like an opinion on two things I am concerned about.

    The issue had not registered with me. I have always earthed SWA as you describe, but I have also seen many examples of banjos connected through earthed metal Consumer Units using the enclosure to provide the earth, but, in this case, I missed the fact that plastic can compress and it has not...

    I would like an opinion on two things I am concerned about.

    Thank you, It appears I am over reacting to that. With the banjos not being earthed, I had not noticed. I have not done an EICR as the church will not pay for it, but I had seen what I believed was a danger and was trying to get them to make it safe. If I were doing an EICR I would need...

    Thank you, It is the unsupported SWA distorting the enclosure I am most concerned with, and the fact they have been told it is OK.

    I would like an opinion on two things I am concerned about.

    No, as space heater and water heaters get turned on together in the morning, I suspect the 100A switch will be overloaded for a while when the tents are in use. There is a very heavy power draw first thing.

    Hi, I would like an opinion on two things I am concerned about. Background. ----------- I have done some work for a church that has bought a derelict farm. They demolished some of the derelict buildings and put up wood structures on the same footprint in 2012. The builders produced no...

    Outside Lights trip RCD

    I was going to suggest the same as Haptism. A fault between live on the switch cable, and an alternate path to earth, meaning the cable tests OK but there is still a low IR between live and the MET.

    Surface mounted box.

    I have had to do a similar thing. I use PVC back boxes (like in snowhead's post) and use a 4mm mm drill to drill out the 3.5mm screw threads and put long screws straight through to the metal back box.

    how to use storage heater without activating the included convector heater?

    The thermostat on the side is for the convection heater, but the "Input control" knob for the storage heater does use a thermostat to regulate the temperature the heater reaches overnight. This basically heats bricks overnight, and the heat then comes out over the day once the electricity is off...

    how to use storage heater without activating the included convector heater?

    If all the MCB's are turned "On" on the off peak side of the consumer unit, and the overnight switch is turned on for each of the heaters , but only one heater heats overnight and the rest do not, It is one 1) The input dial (thermostat) is set too low so the heater is not getting hot. Set this...

    how to use storage heater without activating the included convector heater?

    What tariff are you on with your supplier? You should be on Economy 7 or something similar. Also, do you get hot water overnight? That is common in properties using storage heaters and would show the overnight power supply is turning on over night. I have come across situations where people have...
