OK then, long story short; relative has had her old (housing assoc prop) back boiler removed and a new combi installed. The plumbers left the combi's flex temporarily dogged into a plug top and plugged into a socket outlet over the worktop with the assurance that the sparks would be along the...
I have a run of garden lights to wire up, roughly 1000w so about 4.3A. If they are on an rcd spur from the ring main, is the volt drop allowed for a lighting circuit (3ish %) or for ring main (7% is it)? As 100m at 4.3A will require 4mm if my calcs are correct for a 3% Vd.

Hi all. I have had a query from a client.
We recently spurred a shower boost pump (400W) off of a local lighting circuit due to there being no local power circuit to connect to. We made an assessment of the lighting circuit loading, deemed it sufficiant to carry the additional load of the pump...
Another take on the 'spur from spur' questions. I'm in the middle of having an installation done and my contractor has taken a spur for a single FCU (for a cooker hood) from an existing spur (double socket).
From the distant days when I used to do my own simple electrical work I thought spurs...

I'm doing a PIR on my flat and I've come across a fault I can't work out.
I'm getting a very low (about 0.1Meg Ohm) insulation resistance between Neutral and Line conductors on one of the ring circuits. However I'm not getting continuity between Line and Neutral and the MCB isn't tripping...

I went to a house last week where the live cable on the supply side of a spur (old colours, red) was coloured black as it had been burnt by what looked to be arcing due to loose connection. So i changed the old spur for a new one, as the old spur was all burnt and discoloured. Now the customer...
