    Probation or a prison section.

    Maybe rather than banning some users for a relatively minor offence or first time offence, there should be an area where they can post but not interact with the rest of the forum whilst they serve their time!!

    Section 2.1.2 on DTI Guide - Voc/Isc mulitpliers

    Guys, As we know, for switches/cables/isolators etc, you need to multiply your Voc values by 1.15 and Isc values by 1.25 to calculate the relevant max values for suitable protection. However, does this apply to MPPT or Max DC voltage/current input values on inverters? Any thoughts? Thanks Andy

    I've been asked to go out and look at a job - wiring in a Heat Mat to go under some tiles (bathroom I think, but not been out to visit yet.) Firstly, I've never done one of these before, so any pearls of wisdom would be greatfully received. Secondly, I'm assuming that a 'Park Home' (static...

    eicr queries

    Hi all, i would be grateful if i could pick your brains for some sections of the EICR report form that i am a little unsure of. 1. If you have cables concealed in walls or partitions without 30mA RCD protection is this a code 3? 2. If the service fuse is sealed, is this a lim or N/V and is...

    EICR, why oh why!

    Why have section 7 - 'observations and recommendation for actions to be taken', when we now have 4 pages of 'inspection schedule'. Also this further investigation required tick box. Am I right in saying that if you've identified something as a deviation, then no need to tick as you've...

    Hi, I've been asked to carry out a PIR on a Mobile Catering Van. As I haven't done one of these before, am I right in thinking that I complete as much of the forms as I can, just highlight the fact that the supply is from a generator and mobile?

    Looking around the forum over the last few days I think it is about time we got a new section added. I think it could be called "Leave your handbags at the door" and it would be exclusive access only for members who see this forum as a great place to find/share information ONLY. I stand by what...
