Taff, useful vid' for FAQ I suppose for A3 CU's, sorry Tel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJvLT7uwO58 . Sounds not very good at the start. Failing that Murdoch's gonna buy a book from IET that debunks the myths.
Discuss Amendment 3 Came In Since My Last Time On The Tools in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
Hi Guys
It has been a year and a half or so since I last came on here or worked due to a nasty little run in with cancer and the treatment that followed. Check the family jewels lads, I did and it saved my life!
Anyway, if someone could help me with some questions before I get back to work I`d really appreciate it. Ammendment 3 has come in since I was last on the tools and I`m a little uncertain about a few things. I have read it obviously just not sure on some points.
1. Metal CU`s I`m OK with but do we have to fit them if we are adding a circuit to an existing installation on an available way in an existing CU if complies it with 17th edition before 3rd Ammendment?
2. Someone in the wholesalers today said that we had to put MCBs at 25amp ( I think) instead of 32 Amp on 2.5mm T/E Final Ring circuits. I cant find anything about that in the new regs.
Any help much appreciated.
Dont forget to check `em lads.
Cheers
Taff
An independent wholesaler near me, were telling sparks last Summer that metal CU's were compulsory from the 1st July 2015..... they didn't like it when I told them they were misleading people. When challenged they said that Hager to them...
its only in escape routes anyway so just common senceI was told ok for plastic trunking but needs metal clips so in a fire the cable isn't hanging there
Said that fire persons had gone in to a.building to be chocked by hanging copper left when the plastic had melted
wish.there was a way to deleat when I totally miss read some thing.
its only in escape routes anyway so just common sense
its more for surface trunking etc over doorways and across ceilings.i would say all Routes are escape routes, Window Door, whatever way out of the building.
But it was more pointed out that when fire persons go in to a building still burning and smoke and its hard to see and dont see the hanging bit of cable there
