    BG Split load board 18th edition compliant?

    Personally I think the diversity and max demand are crude to the point of absurdity much of the time. I've got big houses with 30+ circuits, 8 or more ring circuits that are "non compliant" according to any max demand calc method - what's the solution - join all the rings into 2 big ones? One...

    Both the work of the same in-DERR-vi-"jewell" First note element top right corner. Told it had to be this way as c/h pipes use bottom. Probably expected me to sellotape a longer flex to reach the plate below... Told client to buy him a duel entry fitment and call me back. 600w element...

    24 module DB to include 16 MCBs

    I'm not arguing, I want to understand why some arrive at different conclusions to myself and some amount of disagreement is inherent; there's no reason why we can't agree to disagree on what are ultimately nuances while still respecting anothers knowledge though. (That goes for a lot in the...

    Connectors for T&E to Singles.

    Does it really actually need earth sleeving inside the tube? I know it feels a bit bodgy but what's going to happen and isn't an unbroken conductor nicer?

    24 module DB to include 16 MCBs

    I've been fitting Hagar inc. SP RCBOs for at least 10 years and I'm fairly hard nosed when it comes to pricing so that differs from my experience... Although I did cheat and fit a number of Schneider boards for a bit for reasons I can't recall so that could well have been price related Also I...

    FP200 3 phase rating?

    Thanks for that🍻

    24 module DB to include 16 MCBs

    Hugely overpriced? Compared to what? RCBOs are 15 or so and I see only budget brands below that Don't do much 3ph but do have a couple coming up and it's hard to look past Hager - have a dim view of the electrium stuff and mem and schneider escalate the price - what is it they're lacking out...

    Impact and ingress rated wiring acessories?

    Does anyone make anything that ticks both? Have a bakery with some metalclad sockets and spurs that are covered in mank but plastic flap outdoor sockets would get smashed up

    FP200 3 phase rating?

    Oh, I was under the impression fp had different ratings, think I was confusing it with that "refer to manufacturer" SY stuff, thanks All I need now is zs for MG 60947-2s, which you think would be easily accessible info wouldn't you

    24 module DB to include 16 MCBs

    Maybe just my experiences are anecdotal but I've found that many BG RCDs out of spec while doing EICRs I carry a spare. Odd as most of their stuff is fine, fitted billions of their sockets etc, the grey inserts on steel is a nice look. TBF Hagar is all I want to fit these days, hardly anyone...

    FP200 3 phase rating?

    Sorry should have been clearer but I'm looking for a current carrying capacity; the tables I've observed all state DC or 1P AC

    Connectors for T&E to Singles.

    Is it possible to strip the t+e thus making it singles with no need for a join as such? Crimps would be my preferred way to join it if must. But whatever you can fit into an end box seems bodgey.

    Hole in the trunking too big for the gland so the black bit is the shroud How it ended up like that is anyone's guess. An Aircon fitter is what's going on. Maybe they should stick with stuffing glands? Hey at least he didn't use sy...

    FP200 3 phase rating?

    Writing up a sizable EICR, one circuit is utilizing FP200 type cable (don't know the exact brand sorry I know they differ) for a 3 phase condenser, but the only ratings I can find for any softskin cables state single phase AC. Is 3ph AC even permissable?

    Am I mad

    A.K.A. a widowmaker. Found one a few years back - fuseholder on a switch spur burnt out, so clever clogs stuffed all the reds into one hole, leaving the neutral switched. Result - spur appears to remove power while 230v still present! What was it they say about a little knowledge? Oh and...
