    Zs reading in workshop

    The workshop is fed from a 40amp non protected breaker in the house and I got an (R1+R2) reading of 0.15 from the feed into the workshop (if it was just feeding a socket for instance as a radial) but it is feeding a new cu in the workshop. Do I add the 0.15 to the 0.31 to get the figure needed...

    Zs reading in workshop

    The last problem I have to finish the paperwork is that I have a Zs @DB reading from the house CU of 0.31ohms with a Ipf @ DB of 0.74 ka. On the test result sheet for the workshop, which has a 40amp rcd, 2 x 20amp socket radials and a 6amp lighting curcuit, what figures do I use to add to the...

    What am I accountable for on CU change as got bad test results.

    SSE did a poor job squeezing 4 cables into a old switched spur, the "leg" went downstairs to the new combi boiler in the kitchen. Personally I'd have put them all in a junction box. I found out where it went in the end though. The whole house is a mess really, but it all has good readings for...

    What am I accountable for on CU change as got bad test results.

    So find out where the third leg goes to, as 1 leg goes to boiler, 2nd goes to shower and a third shoots off under floor boards to something I couldn't locate when searching the house. I will need to search again and find it to see what's on it and disconnect

    What am I accountable for on CU change as got bad test results.

    Hi, all continuity test results are ok now I replaced all the loose earths in all the sockets and lamp holders around the house. The radial going off to feed the boiler/shower/not sure what else, all branches out of a old unfused spur where the neon no longer works, and this radial is where I am...

    1 switch, 2 fluorescent fittings in shed

    Hi daz, i feel fine working for people. I didn't realize that a simple question would cause so much hassle. When I said I'll find out, I meant when I test it. Im just funny in the sense that even if I think I may be right, I will still ask the question just to be sure. It's just me being...

    1 switch, 2 fluorescent fittings in shed

    I'm just gonna do what I think which is: pull all three cables to the switch, put the live in the common, and the neutral in a block and the earth to the lug. Then put a brown in the 1 way and run back to first light with and neutral from block and earth. If its wrong, I will find out. If its...

    1 switch, 2 fluorescent fittings in shed

    I came on here for a simple bit of advice, nothing more, just some clarification to jog my grey cells. I have been in the building game all my life, it's not as though I'm a banker decided to change his career, I'm sorry if the fact that I've never wired up 2 tubes to 1 switch before and just...
