    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    Many thanks for your time, help & patience. Looks like I will be on the search for another electrician to put all these issues right which will be interesting as I am sure many will not want to put right another persons cock up. Thanks again to everyone who has participated in this thread &...

    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    So would removing the 4.0mm2 T&E cable allow enough space to meet the 45% space requirement? Also would you guy know what the regulation is called or the number? I have a strong feeling what response I am going to get from the electrician when I mention this but I will try.

    So in layman's terms there are to many cables for that size of conduit? If the 4.0mm2 cable was removed would that compile with the regulations? I presume this regulation is to prevent the cables from over heating?

    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    So I am still waiting for the electrician to come back, I have heard from him & have not gotten a date from him on when he will return. I do have another question regarding the grouping factor that will be applied to the three cables he has installed in the conduit. The cables/circuits & MCB's...

    Wago 224 Use On Under Floor Heating Mat

    The thermostat manufacturers instructions say to use a 13 amp fuse so I just did what they say. So If I ferrule the wire that goes into the side of the connector that is intended for the solid conductors I should be good? Yes it is RCD protected, the fused connection unit it spured off a...

    Wago 224 Use On Under Floor Heating Mat

    Would it be acceptable to use Wago 224 connectors to join a cable that powers an underfloor heating mat that has been damaged? The mat is powered via a thermostat that is connected to a fused connection unit fitted with a 13 amp fuse. The wire feeding the mat is 1.0mm2. I see Wago call the...

    Is This Light Fitting Double Insulated?

    I guess not? I just wondered if that because its not double insulated does that mean its not safe? I would presume not. Is it acceptable that the wiring internally is just basic insulation & this poses no issue because the fitting is earthed & non of that basic insulation is exposed when it is...

    Is This Light Fitting Double Insulated?

    As the title states really, I see it has the double insulated symbol but seeing as this is a piece of premium Chinesium I am sure the CE mark is fake as well. I guess a follow up question would be is it safe to use in this state & if not what can be done to make it safe or is it one for the bin?

    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    Whilst I can see where you are coming from he never asked me if this solution was acceptable to me. I asked him at the time as I had concerns & he told me there was no issues with it & if he thought there was an issue I would expect him to not carry on with the work. I did not feel comfortable...

    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    Fair enough, at least I have this option open to me now as if you had not suggested it I would never even know this product existed so many thanks for that. If it is feasible it will be much cheaper than Quinetic switches but again I have them to fall back on if all else fails. I guess because...

    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    I know it is really hard to tell off just pictures over the internet but do you still think it would be possible to get five 6181Y wires down that single run of conduit? That is if it is acceptable to only run one earth wire down & split it between the back boxes? I have never seen 6181Y in...

    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    The switch on the other side of the wall is a two gang switch controlling a pedant & some downlights hence it being two gang. Because the wires running down the wall are unsheathed he has joined the wires inside the back box & then ran a sheathed piece of three core cable out the back of...

    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    Well I did not expect this to create so much debate so thanks to everyone for taking the time to contribute, it really is greatly appreciated. So am I right in saying that we are all in agreement now that the unsheathed twin & earth cores fed down a metal conduit that is unearthed is not...

    When I get home later I will have a close look at the cables emerging from the conduit but I am very confident they are 1.0mm2 I will let you know.

    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    Well he had a good think up in the loft & he came up with the solution we have now, the stripped cables. I thought this was not "correct" so to speak but as I have said this is not my field so I had no way of knowing if this was acceptable or not so I was not in the position to make the call if...

    Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

    I have him coming back to change the 32 amp MCB on the radial he fitted for a 20 amp MCB. Like I said in another post when I brought up the above issue he was not a happy chappy so I would imagine it will be the same for the issues discussed in this thread. I will talk to him about the issues...
