    UK What would you do?

    Thanks. As mentioned I tried to find why the power was not going to sockets. They cables appear to run up to the ceiling, and into a loft that I can’t get into (it’s a bungalow with very low roof truss) the one part of the loft I can get into doesn’t have anything I can see related to problem...

    UK What would you do?

    The neighbours are doing that to start with and contacting gas board - as no paperwork left And I did think all the above sorted before looking into problem circuit Ps from What I understand the previous consumer unit was a fuse type board, and was ‘upgraded’ to allow a solar install

    UK What would you do?

    I couldn’t find any listing of the solar company on NiCEIC or NAPIT. All kinds of wrong really and does need to be properly sorted. I’m also wondering if I can take over solar monitoring (it’s a solar edge system which I am certified on) to prevent further ‘monitoring, by them

    UK What would you do?

    I was asked to see why a set of sockets weren’t working in the house (which appear to be a ring circuit based on breakers) There was no power on either leg in any of the sockets. Cables appear to run down from loft, which is totally inaccessible unless you are a small child in any of the rooms...

    UK Earthing back to neighbours in terrace?

    Been asked to do some rewiring, and have said needs upgrade of consumer unit really Main question is regarding earthing - Zs reads at 0.45 ohms (which suggests at TNS) But cannot see where earth cable goes to from old fuseboard. There is no earth to fuse carrier or cable to fuse carrier in...

    Live incomer is earth cable wrapped in brown tape?

    I guess a proper discussion with client is due. Of note, the reason why I didn’t look as thoroughly as I should have first time is that there was full electrical NICEIC branded installation certificate posted up next to board downstairs . Will need to check when that was signed off and if they...

    Live incomer is earth cable wrapped in brown tape?

    Hi I wonder if anyone has any useful thoughts on this. Client wants me to redo consumer unit but doesn’t want disruption to fabric of building. I’ve attached pic - looks like original wiring was a 16mm earth to the live incomer . The meter box is >20m away. I guess cable is cable but 16mm...
