    Stupid question (probably)...

    I recently passed my 17th Edition regs and also have Part P and 2392, but am not on a competent persons scheme yet. I just wanted to check that I am now technically qualified to fill out BS7671 certificates including Installation certs? Also, does anyone have any advice on where to get blank...

    Am I correct in thinking that when doing a Ze test using a 1553, the dial needs to be set on the 'Hi' setting in the green loop section of the dial settings? Cheers

    Stupid customers

    I was in my local last week and a bloke approached me and asked if I was a sparky? Ya see I've got a small problem. Every time I get a shower all my lights go off unless I have the widow open but its getting too cold to do that now. Told him it needs looking at asap. He lives 5 mins away so off...

    really stupid p.a.t testing question

    Feeling stupid

    Had a job last evening/night, strip out and replace all lights in conduit and singles in a commercial unit. Had all the conduit and fittings up by 10pm, some awkward places but neat job and feeling pleased with myself. Went to my vehecle to get the cable, and realised that in my rush between the...

    Stupid question.

    This may be a daft question so please excuse me. Why is a domestic 230 volt supply protected by a 100A 415 volt fuse. The house I am helping with at the moment has a 100A 415 volt main fuse, that's what it says on the fuse holder...

    Mad, ridiculous and stupid prices.

    Just lost another job! I priced for a rewire of a 3 bed detached house, I put in what I thought was a fair price. But I received a call today asking if I could match the other electricians price, when I asked what it was they said £950. If I had been up a ladder I would have fallen off. That’s...

    Stupid and cheeky question from a non-electrician (me!)

    Stupid question about RCDs

    If we have a double pole RCD which is, let's say 30mA 80A, will it trip in an overload situation above 80A in a similar manner to an 80A incomer? Or is it just 'rated' at 80A in the same way a switch may be rated at 6A or whatever? I'm sure it's a dumb question that I should know the answer to...

    I know I'm stupid but give me a break

    Just run a switched 1 amp spur for a light off a kitchen ring. Load goes to a wall switch and back to a socket for a plug in led driver. Testing it out I get 38v/50 hz at the socket. Why? what's happening guys? Could this be apparent voltage on the neutral and the live isn't working...
