Thanks Pete..

Keep up the good work

 

[Dave OCD]

Nice work Ken.

 

[Flanders]

Nice to see the red white and blue colours wish we still used them

 

[The Ghost]

150mm! you mean each of those cables are 6"?

 

[Pete999]

150mm! you mean each of those cables are 6"?

Think Kenny meant 150mm2

 

[KennyKen]

Yeah I meant 150mm2 4 core as a cable size. Oooops

 

[Specialist]

Nice neat job Kenny.

 

[telectrix]

Yeah I meant 150mm2 4 core as a cable size. Oooops

quite obvious as the lugs are stamped 150-12.

 

[westward10]

How are the cpcs connected at the cables Kenny.

 

[Marvo]

That's almost as neat as we do it in Africa Kenny.

Jokes aside it's always a pleasure to see work that's done with pride. Very nice.

 

[KennyKen]

Thanks for feedback guys. @Midwest The CPC's are terminated to an earth bar just out of shot.

I prefer the older colours avoids unnecessary confusion.

Where are the cpcs connected at the cables they appear to go inside them.

 

[KennyKen]

Yeah the SWA's here have an Earth inside instead of running a separate Earth externally. The Enclosure has an Earth tag on the outside. So the Banjos are on outside but are Angled as you can't drill the enclosure. The enclosure has a specified amount of holes depending on which Zone it's mounted in.

 

[westward10]

Ah I did wonder, is it a smaller csa.

 

[KennyKen]

50mm2. Generally smaller. Some of these runs are 800meters long... someone somewhere has worked out the calcs

It's okay, first time I've been attributed with anything sensible

 

[Leesparkykent]

I'm 1st fixing this....so far 1600 meters of cat 6, 600 meters of speaker cable, 500 meters of CT100, 1000 meters of alarm cable, 2500 meters of 1.0/1.5mm T&E, 1500 meters of 2.5 T&E and 100 meters of 25mm 3core SWA.

 

[Leesparkykent]

Forgot the heating....This is the start of it. Seperate pumps and valves for, ground, 1st and second floors..Also seperate pumps and valves for Towel rail circuit and hot water. 300L cylinder and a system boiler. There will be two more pumps for hot water return and UFH. So 7 additional pumps to the one in the boiler itself. The UFH on the ground floor has 12 zones.

 

[Midwest]

Hope you know where all those wires go
Incidentally, what's the 100m of 3c 25mm for?

Posh b******d's, my house plot isn't that big, let alone my poxy garden. They've made a right mess of the front lawn, or have you been fly tipping Lee.

 

[buzzlightyear]

lol the electrical package is around 40K and that's without the AV and RAKO who someone else is doing. I would of thought they're around the 50K mark. The whole front is being dug up and redone. There's loads of coin in Surrey...This is the 3rd house I've done for the same family with another one in the pipeline...

Nice job Lee, just wondering though: What did you do after lunch ?

four EICR's an hour apart from each other

Bit of a quiet day then

 

[Leesparkykent]

yeah didn't have to get out of the van for the EICR's as they looked alright from the roadside lol

 

[Dave OCD]

I had a heating system years ago a bit like that Lee except only 4 pumps altogether. Had a bit of a head scratcher on how to fire the boiler and only certain pumps without introducing relays so in the end settled on wiring the pump feeds in with the brown on the corresponding Motorised valve, figured the valves wouldn't take long to open once actuated.

 

[freddo]

That's a rather impressive front entrance!

I said that to a woman in a pub once.

No Lee your a proper Sparky, not one of those that can do EICR's & Fault finding telepathically .

I'm just waiting for someone to come on here & tell us something like that, Sparky gave them an EICR without a visit.

I think I may have been doing the remedial work from that 'sparky' yesterday.

Apparently there was no supplementary bonding in the property and one unknown circuit. Shaver sockets in the bathrooms that had them (the only electrical accessories present aside from the lights/fans) were properly bonded, he obviously just couldn't be bothered to bend down to look under the sinks and the mystery circuit ran to a single socket outlet about 4" away from the CU. Obviously 30 seconds identifying that wouldn't yield an hours labour for the investigation.

I must admit, I've not bothered checking supplementary bonding recently - naughty boy - most of the pipe work for radiators is speed fit, and the hot & cold is hidden away behind bathroom furniture And when the place is visited by just a plumber, you wouldn't see him bothering to check. There, I've said it now.

Was the requirement for bonding ever tested?

I can't see the point of testing a plastic pipe Pete?

Ps albeit it has a metallic core of some description.

Should have realised "Speedfit=Plastic" Doh

 

[Midwest]

Should have realised "Speedfit=Plastic" Doh

No but, you make a good point. I often check pipe work etc, before work starts to verify. But quite often when I go back, its all plastic, been altered and the floors been put down. If the pipe work can't be clamped elsewhere, some customers will get a bit annoyed having clamps and green/yellow cable everywhere. Just saying.

You'll have fun chone'ing the network cables in the patch panel/face plates
