    Wagos and ferrules

    Has anybody used a ferrule in a push fit wagos? I need to cut into a ring circuit to make a spur using singles (in conduit) but only have push fit wagos no good for flex as we know.

    Fire resistant clips and singles in trunking

    Current job involves running singles in plastic trunking and conduit. Am fitting fire resistant clips over escape routes but am not too happy using these clips over the singles without any kind of protection against chaffing/cutting into the 'single' insulation. I have been wrapping the metal...

    Singles in PVC conduit, all insulated accessories, do you need a CPC??

    Only reason I can see is if accessories might be changed to those with metallic enclosures in the future and then you'd need to pull a CPC in which would be a big hassle? No sockets, just lights which are supplied with 2 core flex, Ansell 50w led floods.....linked by PVC conduit, fully enclosed...

    2 pir's with 20 lights in pvc singles

    I'm working in an office block and am wiring the shower rooms. I have 20 lights switched by 2 pirs. I'm just wondering would it work okay if I looped the switch wire out of the first Pir through all my lights and end it at the second Pir. Or do I need a direct link from Pir to Pir. Thanks

    t&e and singles

    Is there anything wrong with having t&e mixed with singles on a ring circuit? For example a kitchen ring with conduit linking everything. The 2 legs coming from the garage would be t&e as they will be clipped to joists. But as everything in the kitchen will be conduit it would be easier to pull...

    Flexy singles to iec60502 (6381y)

    Anybody know much about said cable? Was recommended to me a few days ago as an alternative for larger tails on 3 phase supplies. Apparently due to the construction of the cable it dissipates the heat a lot better giving it a higher CCC value meaning smaller overall Csa. Does anyone have...
