    Domestic Electrician Forum?

    Maybe I'm being blind, but I can't see a forum for domestic electricians' chat. I wanted to post a thread about something of relatively minor significance, and sometimes feel the UK Electricians forum to be too prominent for idle chat. There is an 'Electricians Chat' forum I see, but hovering...

    Sub Mains to a Load Centre in a Domestic Dwelling

    I am a retired electrician doing a home rewire. I'm taking my time because I fell about 3m off a ladder & put both bones through the inside of my right leg. That has slowed things down a lot... My understanding of the AS:3000 regs is that all circuits in a domestic residence must be RCD...
