    Another Hot tub install

    Ah I see what you are getting at now lol Its sat on a concrete patio that has been laid to support the hot tub. With a lawn around it so if we are assessing the location Im guessing that if its on a patio of some description you could say that the person is insulated in some sense from the...

    Not sure what you are getting at ?? at the bottom of the customers garden 1597940892 I've trawled back through some older threads on this subject, and found this recent one; https://www.electriciansforums.net/threads/32a-supply-for-a-hot-tub-of-a-pme-supply.186716/ Still not convinced of the...

    Another Hot tub install

    I get that but unfortunately the hot tub supply needs to be on 24/7 and the switches socket. I don’t think there would be a borrowed neutral as such. The tub supply would be fed directly from the RCBO and the socket switch inside the house would be supplied from the same RCBO to a DP isolator...

    Is it okay to run some heating cable up the wall behind a mirror?

    I wouldn't use the loose cable under the mirror on the wall. You can buy proper de mister pads which go under the mirror. I have just done the very same recently on a big mirror. Brought a pad from these guys and wired it into the lights so only comes on when the lights are on. I just brought...

    Another Hot tub install

    I know right I am planning to connect the flex up in an adaptable box and leaving the isolator switched off. That way I know the cable is terminated safely. My only concern is the hot tub company not liking it and trying to charge the customer for a return visit as they just want to see a coiled...

    Another Hot tub install

    I get that but it seems silly to go to the effort of isolating the extremely efficient and low resistance PME earth path and solely relying on the fluctuating and higher earth rod path. I know this is the big debate and can see both sides. If only we had something like a regulations book to...

    Another Hot tub install

    that is a good idea providing both types of earthing but the written paperwork that has been provided to me by the customer from the hot tub company states that they do not provide any wiring and they require 5meters of flex left connected to the isolater. They just connect up the flex and if...

    I have my tin hat on because I know this has been done to death and have read through a lot of the old posts. I just wanted to run my proposal past a few of you and see if there is anything I have missed as its always good to get someone else's view. Customer is needing a 32amp supply and hot...

    Ground GU10 uplighters

    The 2 either side of the garage door will of course have adaptable boxes inside the garage and a flex fun out to the light. It’s the 3rd one that is on the corner of the house. I have to run swa from the garage for about 7 meters to that light. I will gland it off inside the garage In the...
