    Recognised methods of two way switch wiring /colour coding

    Following on from the thread on Two way and intermediate switching (and related conversations) I was wondering where the "recognition" of just one of the methods comes from how far it had spread. I've assumed preference stems from osg 7.4.4 as followed by Figure 7.3. No reference is...

    Opinions on coding for PIR.

    Just done a PIR today on a first floor flat. Just want a few opinions on codings for a couple of issues i noted. Firstly, none of the sockets have 30mA RCD protection. Being a first floor flat the sockets are very unlikely to be used to feed equipment outside so the requirements of the 16th...

Seemed to be the same throughout the property although the spark who wired it took the trouble of sleeving at the ceiling roses?! I appreciate...
