    Running main bonding outside

    Had a CU upgrade just over a year ago but the electrician didn't upgrade the main bonding to the water from 6mm to 10mm. I don't know his reasoning, wasn't there for the work and never chased it up. I'm having my garage converted so access to the CU is going to be restricted after the ceiling...

    Evening, I’m normally an industrial electrician so never work in houses, but something I’m wondering about: If you run a cable through space between ceiling and floorboards, do you de-rate the cable for ambient temperature if there are un-insulated pipes sharing the space? Obviously it’s going...

    Cables running through accessories to feed another circuit.

    There was a post yesterday, can't recall the exact one. I'll start by saying I wouldn't do it and never have, there were several reasons and answers that, although they provided some sort of response, there was never any definitive proof as to whether it was against the BS 7671. Now I don't know...
