    PV roof tile fixing question.

    I have a system to fit to a cement fiber slate roof. The problem is, the roof tiles have been fitted on 19mm battens (instead of 25mm) for some reason. To make matters worse, they've used over large galvanised nails. Any attempt to rip the nails out with a slate ripper tends to split the batten...

    'local' pv manufacture?

    Hi all, I have a client who wants me to fit a pv system, but prefers panels made within the EU if possible. As it's a long time since I've done an installation I'm out of touch with recent progress in the industry, battery systems etc. I've been looking at some panels but very rarely do they...

    Freelance kitchen fitter doing electrical work.

    Now sure who was responsible for this masterpiece, but at least it tested the functionality of my rcbo, which tripped in good time after my demolition hammer struck the cable. Fortunately it was plugged into a different circuit so I was able to continue work unhindered..:-)

    Freelance kitchen fitter doing electrical work.

    I believe this one is fully compliant, as it has a protective cardboard cover.

    Freelance kitchen fitter doing electrical work.

    I've been stripping my own kitchen, and this is what I found behind the tiles.

    ESR RCD? Which manufacturer?

    I've been a fan of MK rcd's for years, but for some reason they stopped making 100ma S types. My local wholesaler only stock control gear, and I've found their delay types to be awful, particularly when pv inverters are on the circuit. I've just discovered a friend of mine has about 30 meters of...

    PV and the end of FIT's?

    Peg, I assume your situation is different to many in that you agreed for a company to install on your roof rather than funding your own installation?

    PV and the end of FIT's?

    I did the installation course primarily to be confident enough to fit my own system, but also with the mind to fit others. However, I soon realised that the cost and hassle of mcs registration was not worth the bother unless I was going to fit full time. I fitted my own system, paid a guy to...

    PV and the end of FIT's?

    With the probable end to FIT's next April I was wondering how this will affect the industry. Will sales of 'Iboost' and similar rise due to people choosing not to give away their surplus electricity? And how will the new regime affect the micro-generation schemes? Without the need to apply for...

    18th edition question

    I thought that fires were a thing of the past since the introduction of AMD 3? Have I been cutting and filing neat little IP maintaining holes in metal boxes for nothing?

    Using cpc as neutral

    I'm not sure the wholesaler has 7 core flex, needed some to wire up a Rayburn once and it was a nightmare to find. That was a few years ago mind. Not heard of YY flex, does it not have a green/yellow core? Anyway, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with using the cpc in a multicore flex as long as...

    Using cpc as neutral

    I agree, hopefully they have.

    Using cpc as neutral

    Firstly, how can it when it's terminated? And in this case it's highly unlikely to because I use heat shrink. Takes time, but I believe it's good practice to do so.

    Using cpc as neutral

    The 5 core cables were coming from the controls downstairs, as already explained. As was the cpc contained within supply cable. I'll have to remember to ask the wholesaler for a 5 core which doesn't contain a green/yellow covered conductor next time.

    Using cpc as neutral

    Not so long ago I was wiring up an underfloor heating system. The controls for the heating were all downstairs, along with domestic hot water controls. The zone valves, along with the water tank and gas boiler were all in the loft. To complicate things, there was also a solar thermal input and a...
