    Socket near sink

    Came across this whilst doing PAT in a women's refuge, and not a single RCD in the house. Whoever installed the worktop and sink never gave a thought to splashes from the sink. The socket front has apparently been changed once due to it smoking (I wonder why?), But they didn't think to change...

    JIB gradings changed again - but before you get too excited, pay is not changed.

    Right as you probably know all the JIB titles have changed, again. Part of me likes the masses of definitions, but my question relates to what do they mean? One in particular. Provisional electrician. Can a provisional spark work on site unsupervised, or does he need to be watched like a...

    is it 230v or 240v?

    Why is mains domestic power referred to as either 230v or 240v? Why not settle on just one of them? (My limited knowledge tells me that the reality is usually 243v or 237v - is that right?) Cheers.

    Last month I changed a consumer unit and all was well. Now neither of the RCD's are tripping correctly. I get either >50v or >40ms. Could this be 2 faulty RCD's? the make is Contactum and the elecsa guy I spoke to today didn't seem too keen on them. Idea's most welcome Carl
