According to the niceic they want to keep 110v on larger sites, thats what they told us at the 17th edition seminar they held in feb, I personally think its a good thing to have a lower voltage on sites, they only changed it in the regs due to the foriegn workers when they bring tools from their country they can use them here,( ie the germans).Its all to do with the european union which is why we changed to the new colours in the first place

Heres a link which should provoke a discussion about the pros and cons of 240v on construction sites ,i personally think theres no advantage in going there,things have worked well enough for years ,if it aint broke dont fix it ,the hse say no one has got killed on site by 110v ,why risk allowing 240v,which as the discussion in the above link shows ,there is a risk

Yes Rum, but you could also look at all the countries ruuning on 240V, are there considerable deaths on site?

anyway, its the same thing, because:

110V CTE, fault voltage to earth = 55V

230V on an RCD: maximum fault voltage to earth (at a Zs of 1667 ohms) = 50V (before the RCD disconnects), and at lower Zs values, fault voltage to earth will be much lower

so there! its safe! crack on then lads!

What happens when there is a lack of power on the site? the only cordless you've got then is the old faithful hammer and chisel. Maybe only the oldens will remember how to use them eh! Bit like the old Rawplug tool (showing me age a bit there) ha ha!

Can you still buy Rawltools. They might be old but you never need power the recharge them and can easy fit in you tool box.

Whats a Rawltool? I dont have to work on powerless sites often but the que to get an outlet on temp boards can be apain also when a wave hits the temp board (no I'm not kidding it came over the sea wall into the garge of the property and tok out 3 builders a pallet of plaster mix and the CU and temp supply.............) Cordless are OK but for chasing solid walls? (i dont mean brick as solid! but rendered walls and concrete block, engineering bricks)
