There's an item on the One Show at the moment about Rated people and how their ratings aren't always what they seem.
It's nearly finished now, but you can still watch it on iplayer.
Hi All
Please correct me if I'm wrong I was thought that an RCD should trip when you come In contact with a live conductor. Now I have had 2 electric shocks in the last 3 months and on both occasions and the RCD did not trip.The RCD was tested and passed.
Any ideas ?

Hi,
has anyone taken the EAL version of the 2394 and 2395 that C&G provide.
if so what do people think to the course and how quick are the results given to you as I know C&G tend to make you wait 6 weeks to get the result for each exam.

This might sound crazy but I want to make my own generator in my garage and power my own property, fed up of these electricity bills, any ideas where to start. Magnets ?? Coils windings ???? Sure it won't take much to generate 230v at 50hz
I have been offered a job as an electrician for a heating company, wiring up boilers and heating plans in social housing.
Is it worth doing or is it a soul destroying venture? Has anyone got experience of this work? The contracts are based in the south east outside of London.
