    Steel conduits acceptable for earthing in domestic property ?

    Lucian Thank you for clearing that up. I would agree that a wander lead would be the most effective method of proving continuity to each point in the system. Yeah conduit is a dying art, i was lucky enough to do alot of it in my early career, although the industrial/commercial side of it. We...

    Steel conduits acceptable for earthing in domestic property ?

    Dave Yes i understand that. What i mean is that this will get its full test with the addition of continuity tests for the conduit system. The wiring is not VIR as i know that stuff from the look and feel of it. I was more concerned about one of the other comments that asked if it was PVC or...

    Steel conduits acceptable for earthing in domestic property ?

    Steel conduits acceptable for earthing in domestic property ?

    Dave Superb, yes i carry out a complete test of the installation any time a consumer unit upgrade is done. I think in this case thought every switch/socket will have to be opened to make sure fly leads are in place. I appreciate your advice on this matter. Nick 1572380229 Matthew Is...

    Evening Just been to quote for a consumer unit upgrade. Found that the board was from circa 1960 and wiring looked original also. No alterations have been made with exception of a few faceplates renewed in the kitchen. Red and black single cores going into an adaptable box at the back and...

    Installing garden spike light

    Yes well unfortunatley there is the cowboy spark which are most likely worse than some competant DIYer. I am hoping one day it becomes mandatory to be with a registered body such as NICEIC/ELECSA to help prevent this type of rogue.

    Installing garden spike light

    Yeah i get that. But the issue is where do you draw the line with it. Someone changing a socket or a light. Yeah fine its not hard. But its varied. A light with 1 x cable at it. A light with loop in connection. A socket with 3 cables already connected to the one point. What i am saying is...

    Why would spike lights trip an MCB as if a dead short is present ?

    We will be supplying new 240v spike lights. Exact same model but 240v. As we have our SWA points in place and the customer does not want to shell out for the drivers etc required (these did not come with the fittings). Oversight on the customer for not ordering the correct light but installer...

    Why would spike lights trip an MCB as if a dead short is present ?

    Yes i know mate. Looking back in hindsight the lack of earth. It crossed my mind but didnt put it together. Im used to 24v stuff being black and red. The flex was brown and blue. Everydays a school day as they say. A mistake is only a msitake if you cannot rectify it. Source URL: Why would...

    Why would spike lights trip an MCB as if a dead short is present ?

    Guys They are all 24v !!!! I just had a look at the tiny label .. I went off the box they came in which had mains power on it and the fact they were supplied with no driver etc (customer supplied) Actually kicking myself. Been such a long day today. I actually cannot believe I overlooked...

    Installing garden spike light

    Can't say I agree with a DIY person doing any electrical work whatsoever to be quite honest with you. Not to mention installing garden lighting. The sooner they make practicing electrical install work illegal the better. You would not touch a gas pipe. So why touch electricity ? Just as...
