    MK time delayed rcd's?

    I asked my wholesaler for one today only to be told they're discontinued. A quick google of MK 6400s seems to confirm this. Does anyone know why this is and if Mk are producing a new version for some reason?

    Sorry Buzz, I can't make out what you're trying to say there, your broken English is not always easy to decipher.

    Sorry mate, I'm not gonna look through thousands of posts just to find out why you don't spend a couple of minutes completing your profile, if you don't want to tell me then so be it. You must have your reasons, but like I say, some people will just assume you don't have anything to show, and I...

    It's actually this part that I disagree with: "some people on this forum do not need to put their qualifications to show what they have " I've yet to be told the reasons why they refuse to state their qualifications, and don't see any reason for someone NOT to state their qualifications...

    Answering post 59 is hardly going to help OP now, is it. I'm still curious as to why you refuse to display your own qualifications on your profile. Why wouldn't you? Surely by not doing so you run the risk of being taken for an un-qualified keyboard warrior?

    "WE are NOT mind readers ............please include as much information in your posts as possible and PLEASE answer questions" A tad hypocritical when for some reason you refuse to even list any qualifications you may have?

    Not so long ago a forum member suggested we all stated our qualifications in order to help ascertain our level of knowledge, and structure our responses to questions accordingly. I don't think that's a bad idea, makes sense to me. Murdoch, I'm not picking a fight over qualifications but I'm...

    I rarely post, but I do check in and read through quite often. The reason I rarely post is because I don't wish to get in a spat like this over my opinions of how some members treat others who are just asking for help. As it happens, it's holiday time right now so I find myself slightly less...

    I'm not sure what you mean Murdoch. My motivation for what exactly?? A quick look at your profile reveals that your declared qualifications are 'Part P registered'. Now there was silly me thinking Part P was a building regulation....

    No I haven't, but of course I shall reciprocate at some point, because labeling someone dumb because they simply have a difference of opinion can possibly be described as 'dumb' :-)

    I too would be very uncomfortable with the idea of introducing a live conductor from the ring circuit into a light switch box. (not least because a 30A protected circuit would be running trough a 10A rated switch) But, isn't it the case where often there are two separate lighting circuits in the...

    Hi Pete, you're welcome to 'disagree' it'd be a boring place if we all agreed with each other :-) It's the 'dumb' option that I take offence to! I'm not even sure why we have such a condescending option amongst purported professionals, or is in place to be used to humiliate the diy'ers? Maybe...

    Of course I will reciprocate in this instance, I'm sure you can understand why I'm not happy with being rated 'dumb' for simply expressing an opinion! I would've offered the OP some advice, had the original post not been blocked before I had read it. I read these forums less often than I used to...

    If that's the case then why are 'clueless diyers' allowed to join the forum? Do you think the forum should be restricted to those with electrical qualifications only?

    Lets all demonise this muppet for even considering doing his own electrics. If people can't afford to pay a sparkie's often exorbitant rate then what the hell do we expect them to do? Any electrician looking at that old wilex board will run a mile! I certainly wouldn't work on/add to any circuit...

    Is EIC required for this job (New CU & ring main) Electrician says no?

    I'd be more concerned at the '£100 consumer unit' !! If you're going to the trouble of changing it, then why not get a box full of RCBO's? Especially on an older system where there's likely to be issues... so more like £200...

    SunnyBoy connectors?

    Ah, thanks Lee, is this unique to Sma inverters then? MC4's have fitted all the other inverters I've come across...

    SunnyBoy connectors?

    Hi all, I have an SB1700 but having trouble getting my MC4 connectors to fit. The inverter has 4 dc connectors to plug into but these seem ever so slightly bigger than my mc4 connectors. Are they just a tight fit or are they different size connectors?

    Is it OK to terminate switched fused spur with 13A socket?

    Is there not a way to fit one (or both) of your cupboards between the appliances? My preference is always to fit socket outlets in adjacent cupboards. This also avoids the need for extra unsightly FCU's to tile around above the worktop. And less danger of being inadvertently switched off...

    New Consumer Unit Needed?

    As I thought westward, but I'd be happier doing so if the client is happy... it doesn't make any sense to me not to.
