    What IP rating is this?

    Hi guys, Thought id share a recent eicr find with you. An outside board controlling lamposts/flood lights, and yes the door is shut as fully as it will. Copper is meant to be this colour right? Who needs blanks? Who needs armoured glands anyway? The cable hanging down is live Tim

    Reinstating IP rating of CU

    Been working through the night on a rush job, just nicely getting to looking at the CU. It needs moving about a meter to the side. At the moment, the cables enter it from above, and all the knockouts have been removed on the top of it. This has obviously destroyed the IP rating of it. When I...

I am drawing 3000W on each spur and on the ring sockets probably around 500w making a total of 6500w. Do you think this is dangerous as it is exceeding the 24A rating on 2.5mm...

    service fuse rating

    Quick question for some advice if possible? Obviously the main service fuse type and rating needs to be written up on an EIC, but what to do when there's absolutely no info on the service head?! Almost no doubt it'll be a 1361, but obviously can't just guess the rating, so cut-and-pull, or what...
