    TT systems with dual rcd boards 100ma

    Hi everyone, could someone far more experienced than me explain the issue regarding TT earthing and using metal cased dual rcd boards. My understanding is that the links between rcds within dual consumer units have no protection therefore a board would become live if they became loose and...

    Taking 25mm tails over 3 metres

    Thank you, it’s the way I’ve written it. We’re on the same page, that’s what I meant with regard to the tails. I agree regarding the cpc which also confused me. I wouldnt have ran swa like that it was more of point to build the story of what I’ve come against. Cheers

    Not a huge amount of information there mate but can you place it somewhere where you dont have to extend cables? Less crimping the better:handok:

    not in isolation no as youre proving the board is dead. For Ins R if the switch is closed your not testing the whole cable so yes. If your asked to test a circuit for safe iso at the light for example to prove its dead on an otherwise live board then yes you would operate switches to prove its dead

The answer is, can you actually hold a cert in your hands after 6 weeks or whatever it is that says your an electrican? yes you can because there are courses out there like you've mentioned that offer it but is it the right way...

    AM2 - My Experience

    just to throw in my 2 pence worth, I took on board everything that @SparkyChick sent to me (which I believe is freely available on here and nothing special for me personally) and I found it very useful. I did it about a month ago now so anyone who wants recent experience feel free to contact me...
