Advice wanted - unhappy with rewire

[Pete999]

I have an answer for that but I have never had a warning so far.

Would you consider a domestic installation as unlikely to need consideration for high integrity earthing unless there is a specific reason (e.g. medical equipment)?

Yes, if a circuit was intended to supply alot of high earth leakage equipment or upon measurement leaked 10mA or more then I would protect that circuit/ split accordingly eg. with type A/B RCD. And high integrity earthing.
But like you mentioned this would most likley be Radials with a seperate earth run as a ring.

I dont think its really necessary to install high integrity earthing in most domestic cases, but it is important to protect with the right type RCD to avoid nuisance tripping, and make sure the RCD would not be effected by the leakage and operate correctly

For that read cumulative, predictive text, my foot sorry all for the gaff.

Where is that bad spelling button that you keep on using on my posts?

Ah well someone else got in first Ant, so damage control has been activated, better luck next time, I'll be waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes very, as are the dislike and disagree but you get far to much flak when hitting those two.

Probably not for long.And you have put one too many spaces between control and has.

No I haven't keep trying.

Yep, I have the odd prob, too...…..
Just blame it on the specs.
Just delete one?

Hi Sarah, the chasing is certainly untidy and if the wall had crumbled away I would have plastered around the sockets myself before second fixing. The wire should not have come out of the socket even with it being moved around. The melted socket is more than likely down to what the builder plugged in(to much load). Certificate needs to be issued within 25 days (NICEIC) and should have been registered online.
On the upside they have used MK gear which is generally better quality.

MK gear is crap.

An increasingly prevalent opinion.

Could you put some meat on those bones?

In times of old MK stood for quality with robust and long lasting equipment
Its domestic range these days (and for the last 20 years) has stood for Mediocre (crap) Kit

IMO MK stuff is quite well put together; some of their terminal screws aren't so good and leaning mcb’s. But the rests ok, and they look good.

There's a lot else there thats much worse.

What, and how much better; name your enemy of choice, we are all friends here . Quite like the Click Scholmore range, but still think the MK stuff (talking basic white plastic) looks………………………………………………………...nice!

Been installing plenty MK Aspect top of the range, flat plate on one job. No problems....but still much prefer the Schneider 'Ultimate' (GET) range.....a bit cheaper, better to work with and better looking, for me. Class stuff.
