    50ma rcd.

Each track had an rcd enclosure with a 100ma, Wylex BS4293 rcd. The oddity is that the rcd enclosures have traffolyte labels fitted...

    Something you may have not known

    Hello, about 2 months ago I was working on a rewire for a large property, and we had to have the DNO come out to upgrade the supply.

    Forum loading problem

    @Dan Have you done something to the forum recently? In the last day or so, loading any page has started taking ages, giving Waterfox Not responding and sometimes Unresponsive script warning. It appears to be related to the blue 'Electricians Talk/Jobs' box. It's fine once that box loads up.
