Just now SSE meter installer rang to say he could not swap a tenant's meter because it had a "shared neutral".
The meter is a pre-pay key meter which was installed when a previous tenant didnt pay his bill. Landlord is trying to get it swapped for a normal credit meter for the new tenant...
I'm half way through an installation job that I didn't design, and have come up against an oversight that I need a solution for.
The issue at hand is a new kitchen with a cooker and an oven. The original design showed a 10 mm feed for the cooker, with the oven on the ring (hmm). After looking...
Good evening all just wondering if anyone has recently fitted a schneider kq 250amp switch disconnector and had an issue with the busbar terminals on the TP&N board not lining up with the busbar extensions?
The problem arose from when the kitchen stopped working, we tried turning the kitchen back on but now the whole circuit is out, the RCD is stuck permanently off.
so I checked a socket that we think it was that had a short circuit, it's not that. Apparently the RCD has been tripping every few...

A few years back I was on holiday in Oz (visiting brother who had emigrated there).
We were sitting in his lounge and the lights began coming on dim and flickering (switch off but sound of arcing) - he said they’d been doing that occasionally for a few days.
I said it’s probably a duff...

Does any one know, now that they have dumbed down Part P, if you have to register to sign off someone else's work or if you are already a member of a scheme you can just do it. Plus what certificate do you use because if you haven't installed it surely you can't use a EIC. Maybe a EICR?
thanks chaps
