    Fork Lift Charging Point.

    I am currently doing an EICR in a warehouse and one of the circuits is for a Fork Lift Charging point (32A) In Light of the 18th Edition and all circuits being protected by and RCD, should I recommend that the MCB that is feeding that circuit at present be changed to an RCBO ??

    Can I just confirm, when doing a CU Replacement, is a test required on all circuits or a percentage?

    Off peak and standard

    So when filling in the Schedule I presume I put down the highest Ipf, whilst I get the same ZE, I am getting two different Ipf Readings?

    Off peak and standard

    Hi I have just changed both an off-peak CU and a normal CU. I have tested both. Can i put them both on the same cert or do they need to be on two different EIC's ??

    Special Locations

    I have had a look at my regs book, and as far as I can interpret that if it is inside a cupboard thus providing a partition and with the electrical connections being outside of the bathroom, I cant see a problem. Am I missing something?? just want to be sure.

    Hi All, Just a quick question, my decorator wants to put his washing machine in his bathroom as it is the only place they can put it where it can be plumbed in easily. It will sit under his boiler which is also in the bathroom and both will then have a cupboard built round them. He tells me...
