Just had a meeting today with Peter Lee Williams, NICEIC assessor for my promotion to QS.
amongst other things he said that one of the limitations for eicr's should be that portable appliances have not been tested.
just wondering what everyone's thoughts are. I thought it was unnecessary.
Hi there, I'm new here. This will become obvious.
Today my band and I intended to go busking with our new battery and inverter, which we used to plug our keyboard and amplifier into using a dual extension cable. Within 2 minutes of playing the keyboard stopped turning on, and after 4 mins, the...
Hi,
I am in the process of a kitchen rewire. The kitchen is fully integrated and my interpretation of the regs is that all appliances should have accessible means of isolation. Does this mean that all switches have to be mounted at counter level or can they be concealed i.e inside or above...
Firstly, I'm not an electrician - I've also not been on the forum for a while but I did receive a lot of helpful advice whilst rewiring my own home earlier in the year (and yes, it's now complete - my slightly esoteric lighting control system excluded ;))
Anyway, my neighbour (who has no...

Hi all
Integral kitchen appliances such as dishwashers etc, what is the easiest way to test them? is there an easy way of getting to the plug or is it a case of removing half the kitchen in order to access the plug??

On a new kitchen install the oven and hob are not specified yet and are therefore unknown to check MI. Most likely it will be a built under double oven, and a standard 4 ring ceramic hob.

What design loading should be assumed for a kitchen. Washers/Dryers are easier to consider, but someone may decide to boil the kettle, whilst making toast, and putting on a combination oven/microwave at the same time, so should a lower diversity be applied to kitchen circuit than standard.

Any advice would be appreciated.
