Hi,
I after opinions on which M Class dust extractor is better for chasing and coreing holes.
I have narrowed it down to either the Bosch GAS35 AFC or the Metabo ASR35.
Any one used them both?
Hello,
I am a Trainee here on the Forum. I am seeking some further advice/input on a specific technical matter of importance to me.
Briefly, I have completed C&G level 1 in electrical installation (distinction) and I am currently on the level 2 course, and things are going well on that score...
Hi all. First of all, I'm not an electrician, although I am confident in doing small jobs (socket changes, light changes etc.) however I am about to start a course (being sent on one, city & guilds).
My friend (spark, currently on holiday so I can't ask him) has given me his HPAT600 and after...
I'd find a list of manufacturers who are currently producing single module class A RCBOs (and perhaps class A RCDs) quite useful. To my knowledge so far there are:
Hager
Doepke
Schneider
Does anyone know of any others?
As in the title...
The customer has no earthing on lights and wants to change from pendants to something different. It's in the kitchen.

Does anyone know where I can get a class 2 light that is at least a little like the above...
Bought 2 metal wall lights arrived today and just opened them.
They are completely metal in construction states on the fitting they are class 2 and have no earth connection.
The cables leaving the chocbox inside to the lampholder are single cores.
How can this be class 2?
Hi everyone,
I hope this is a simple question!
I have purchased a double insulated class 2 pendant light fitting. Is it safe to convert it to a plug-in lamp? I had originally planned to add a switch to the cable and finish with a plug, but am unsure if this is safe without an earth wire. I...
Hi all. This is my first post on this forum.
My question is.... what meters are you using to monitor heat pumps under the new mcs rules. It states MID CLASS A rated. But I'm struggling to find any. Ideally looking for a din rail mounted one.
Thanks in advance

Hey everyone.
Recently got called to a job where I needed to change over a light fitting and other small jobs. Upon testing the circuit no earth was present, I investigated the circuit thoroughly and gave the customer a few options on what to do. The customer decided to go ahead with changing...
I understand what Class I and Class II are i.e earth cable or double insulated, but is there anything which states when one should be used over the other or is it just a choice ?
Hi all,
The title says it all really, was just looking for opinions on the best looking class 2 light switches e.g. for a circuit without an earth, ideally wanted something that was a brushed metal type finish.
Many thanks,
M
I have a EICR coming up where I am sure there is no CPC in the lighting circuit, the property is rented and I am sure all the outlets are class 2. Where do i stand?
Should the circuits be rewired?
C2 or C3?
Thanks

I would value your opinions on this.
I did an EICR and found two lights in a bedroom that are florescent lights so class 1 but the lighting circuit is old and does not have an earth. However, the lights are in vanity units, so you cannot touch the units without dismantling the vanity units. As...
Anyone know of a bathroom suitable shaver socket that doesn't require an earth? I know the safety transformer load side doesn't need earthing, but all the ones I've come across, even the plastic ones, still have an earthing terminal presumably to earth the supply side (metal components within...
I am looking at a receiver/amplifier that was manufactured in the mid 1970s. It has a very solid all metal case. It is powered by a mains lead that has only two conductors, active and neutral. It does not have any Class II notation or symbol anywhere on the case. I am wondering whether the...

Hi Guys, just a quick question to see if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Does anyone know if there is a Reg stating that you cannot put a lock on a dis board or isolator enclosure in a residential environment. Something along the lines of it needing to be accessible without the use...
