    Cable runs in woden framed flats.

    Yes that's what I thought initially but when I thought about it it does create problems. Where there are lighting cable drops it will be through both sets of plasterboard and will breach not only the soundproofing but also the fire barrier (yes I know about the 74mm2 rule). AS a secondary...

    Cable runs in woden framed flats.

    The flats we will be working on will have a ceiling construction of easy joists below which will be noise reducing metal suspension bars, double plaster boards, another layer of noise reduction bars and a final layer of plasterboard. The gap between the plasterboards is expected to be 35mm. Is...

    Meter room for new block of flats

    HI, Thanks everybody for your responces. Yes I did get the terminology wrong, after the meter it is of course an isolator. Following this thread I did followup the references particularly G87 and it has helped considerably. I also spoke to the DNO (not that much use) but one thing came to...

    Meter room for new block of flats

    For a new block of flats I am considering locating the meters in a meter room. Our suppliers now fit 100A cutouts after each meter. From each meter cupboard I want to run 25mm SWA (or the braided 25mm cable, watever this is called) to the consumer unit inside each flat. Now the cable entering...

    That is too sweeping. There are exceptions as we all know but discussion of those is outside the OP.

    NIC Rip off

    They may be heading in that direction now, and there are some coordinated features that I do not like, but the ELECSA inspectors that I have had are much more friendly and actually seem to know what they are talking about.

    Supply for Combi Boiler - RCD required ?

    So in that case an RCD is not strictly needed, but of course you will have checked that the supplementary bonding that was required by the previous standards to which the boiler was first installed are present!!! The problem being that if an earth fault developed then it would be to the boiler...

    Supply for Combi Boiler - RCD required ?

    Well you tel that to my NICEIC inspector! In fact maybe the word "buried" might have more exactly expressed what I ment.

    Supply for Combi Boiler - RCD required ?

    My understanding is that any NEW work, which would include this, was required to comply with Current Regs. The regs only require that cable burried in walls etc be protected by an RCD, specifically surface wireing is not required to be RCD protected. so will there be any new wire passing...

    Type 2 MCBs

    Of course I have come across Type 2 MCBs in old installations but trying to buy replacements has never been easy. Does anybody still use these on new installations?
