    Notching the side of a joist?

    Murdoch - no, he did however have a structural engineer calculate it smaller than the one he's put in. Vortigern - it's being directly overboarded. Hightower and Wilko - completely agree. As I said, I wasn't sure if I was missing something regs-wise on this one as I couldn't find anything...

    Notching the side of a joist?

    My thoughts exactly, but yes it is a load bearer. The builder has just told me he's oversized it by 25mm so it won't be a problem, so I've told him to notch it himself as I won't be putting my name to that!

    Notching the side of a joist?

    I know the regs for the regular notching of joists, but I can find nothing about notching up the side of a joist. I need to route my cables up past a large wooden beam 4500mm x 400mm, 115mm thick. Do the normal rules apply? 0.07-0.25 of the length and 0.125 of the depth? Or is it a no go? Cheers

    Secuself wireless alarm help

    Firstly, I asked for advice on a product, I didn't asking for advice on product selection or anyone's opinion. Secondly, it's a wireless alarm system, not rocket science. The only thing I don't understand is the requirements of the SIM card as the company don't explain it properly. Only one...

    Secuself wireless alarm help

    Wow, you really proved me wrong on your arrogance! I'm an electrician not an alarm engineer, I don't claim to be, the wholesalers have provided the product to the company I work for and I've been asked to install, therefore I'm trying my best to understand the functionality of it as the user...

    Secuself wireless alarm help

    The alarm system conforms to EN50131(The European Standards for intruder burglar alarms) but thanks so much for the arrogant negativity. egg67 - the product is apparently dependant on GPRS(via the SIM card), I'm no expert on communications etc but does that not mean it is using data from the sim?

    Secuself wireless alarm help

    I'm looking to install a Secuself wireless alarm system (www.electronics-line.com , no luck looking on there) and it requires a sim card for GPRS(to link the panel to the PIR/door contacts I imagine) and text alerts. Could anyone from experience tell me if it uses a lot of data, I'm wondering...

    Fuse to isolator or isolator to fuse?

    Sorry I should've been more specific, it's a Wylex fused isolator, basically a fuse on the left of the unit with a factory fitted link to an isolation switch on the right of the unit. This is feeding a sub main on the other side of the building. The guy has connected tails to the fuse and came...

    Fuse to isolator or isolator to fuse?

    I'm at a care home and a debate has come up in the plant room. One guy is arguing you take your tails from the meter to an isolator then to a fuse then to your board. The other reckons it should be fuse then isolator then board. Any right or wrong?

    3 phase sleeving?

    Right, if i'm supplying a three phase motor in swa, obviously taking brown/black/grey to their respective colours at the mcb, do I have to sleeve all of them brown to indicate live conductors or are the fact that they are phase colours sufficient? Not sure whether to sleeve them at the motor or...
