    C/H supply - spurred or dedicated cct?

    Volt drop on spurred lighting

    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.

    Ring final fault - please help !

    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...

    Cables burnt behind fused spur supplying immersion heater

    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...
