    Label Machine thoughts

    just wondering what are people’s recommendation on labelling machines? I’ve been looking at the following from screwfix: https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/brother-pte110vp-electricians-label-printing-machine/3453x Aside from that one they jump to £80 and then to £170

    Testing and inspection course

    You should have experience in testing and inspecting before taking the course. To do the level 4 in design you will need your level 3 for your apprenticeship

    Oven and hob cable size and isolating switches

    I would personally run two 4mm radials on 20A double pole switch for the oven and oven/microwave. I would run a 10mm for the possible induction hob on a 45a isolator. Putting either in a cupboard near the grid switching for the appliances.

    Capping installation methods

    In new builds I use the metal band strap with a spit nail either side goes up super quick, in older stuff I put a screw either side and abit of copper cable that wraps around the screws and as you tighten the screws up it pulls the copper right to the capping.

    1st flats with concrete ceilings

    Spit gun/Hiti gun, a lot quicker then drilling a hole and knocking in a cable hook, also a lot quicker then throwing up some basket as by time ducting and plumbers pipes gone in there would be hardly any room anyway.

    Fixing a pendant (IKEA)

    As above you should be competent but this is how it needs to be done 3 reds needs to go together in a separate block, 2 blacks in the “N” and the black tagged red in the “L” all the bare copper cables need have Earth sleeving on and be separated into there own block. To be honest if I was you...

    Extractor Fan Vent + Transformer

    Wouldn't even expect that kinda work from an apprentice let alone an "electrician". As others have said nothing wrong with a mains voltage fan in zones 1 or 2 for a bath as long as it's to IPx4. Jobs need redoing again :oops:
