    Vehicle battery as a power source

    I don’t think the cup of tea is going to taste very nice….. and maybe a bit cold 🤣

    Anyone here on chess.com?

    No. I’m boycotting chess because of that guy that got disqualified for wearing jeans at the World Rapid Chess Championship. I know enough to know it’s called a “knight” not a “ horsey”

    I’ve Never BEEN To Me View: https://youtu.be/qOsY-fq5q5g Yes, it’s a cover. Not the 70’s original by Charlene. This version appeared on a double compilation album celebrating 40 years of the NME magazine. A very much played cassette in my car at the time.

    I’m with AXA as a sole trader for PI and PL. Never needed to look elsewhere.

    531.3.3 & Maintenance

    I would think it’s not just LED lights. Anything with a DC element could have an effect. Maybe one for the powers that be to answer… ie, the authors of the regs.

    My supplier says my meter is installed illegally, how do I rectify this?

    One of the big things these days is ease of access to equipment for maintenance and emergency purposes. Even just for inspections, the cables between the equipment need to be visible. You may need to take the back off both the base and wall units… enough to expose the incoming cable, main...

    I must be getting slow. I'm thinking.... whats he talking about? 180 degrees?... the taps are still on a long side... He means 90 degrees.... have the taps at one end.... Not much of a sailor if he cant get angles...... Then the penny dropped. Yes... a leaking pipe will be a PITA to fix...

    Review of EICR

    There’s circuit charts stuck to the inside of the cover flap on the CU that actually makes more sense than both the reports. If they can’t even get BS numbers right, then how many other reports across the area have been done wrong? I’m sure I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong here, but a copy of...

    Review of EICR

    The second one you put up (the earlier date) isn’t much better I’m afraid. How they can get things so wrong is beyond any of us Unfortunately, to the layman, these lists of BS numbers, measurements, strange combinations of letters and numbers are all very confusing.

    Code for no SPD on new build

    Gotcha. I thought you’de been brought in as a 3rd party to check someone else’s job. Should it have been specced beforehand whether to include SPDs? I wouldn’t expect it needs it. There’s not a lot there to be damaged if a surge was to happen. Not like thousands of pounds worth of...

    Code for no SPD on new build

    As far as I’m aware, can the occupant still refuse an SPD, if they decide that they don’t need one? Signed waiver after risk assessment? Don’t know how that stands with a developer/ builder, As they are the customer, but not the final user. new builds should have capacity, and even a cable...

    My kid’s moving out! House buying.

    Fair points there. I could still get battery storage that charges overnight on off peak… leave the PV side of it just now. There will only be her living there just now, but we suggested she could get a friend to rent the spare bedroom. Her boyfriend is at uni, so unlikely he will move in…...

    Review of EICR

    I think we now wait for OP to return. It’s getting to be a weekly occurrence, someone comes on here with a dodgy EICR.

    Review of EICR

    The list of mistakes is getting longer. I did notice the IR was “200” on some and “>200” on others, which is more likely. Pointed out by westward above Also, out of interest, was the overall outcome marked as “SATISFACTORY”? Which is what a single C3 would bring about? Without being on site...

    Review of EICR

    Couple of things stand out. 61009 is not a suitable main protective device type. Mainswitch rating is stated as 100V as well as 100A. Should be 230V Every measured Zs is exactly the same. (0.68 ohms) This should be different for every circuit…. His C3 coding at the beginning mentions...

    My kid’s moving out! House buying.

    The drive isn’t going to be a problem….. there’s other houses on the road done it, and I know a few of them as customers. First job would be to sort the heating out. I might leave it as 2 systems, so if there’s a powercut, can still use the stove for heat. Getting rid of the storage heaters...

    Haygain wiring diagram

    Sorry. I can’t remember now. A thermal fuse should be able to be identified and replaced…. But is that the problem? If it’s tripping out the supply, the fuse must still be ok.
