Electrical Myth busting!

[pencilpusher]

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone...................

Now, having had a thread attract a scaremongerer this week about the "myth" of extending a PME suppy to an outbuilding, I am very interested to hear about electrical myths others have heard of and would like to share. (This is a serious thread to collate myths about electrical can and cannot do's - no other myths are welcome!) Maybe we could compile a list of the top ten electrical myths at the end.

I will start then - You cannot export (extend) a TNCS supply to an outbuilding ..........or else!

Over to you.......................

ALL domestic work is notifyable and you need to be part of a scheme to undertake PIRs.....

[johnboy6083]

That you have to run a CPC inside steel conduit and trunking!

Glenn I'm sorry about that last one but you have to admit, you left yourself wide open for it. It was just too good to resist

Lighting circuits without a CPC are illegal and have to be rewired!
