    Sorry to mention stables again but...

    Some of you may remember a discussion I had on this forum some time ago regarding my wiring of a stable. The general opinion was that they would burn down, soon after the horses and anyone within a 10 mile radius was electrocuted. Now so far none of this has happened. Now my point was that as...

    Wetpants Strikes Yet Again ....... GRRRRRRRRRRRR

    Thank you Mr. Wetpants. Not only have you stolen my wiring space by threading your radiator pipes through holes that were drilled for cables I was planning on installing on Friday morning, but you have installed hot-water pipes right on top of existing cables. I can't decide whether the ----wits...

    Why no earthing? .... Track lighting again.

    Had to re-lamp several track mounted over table pendants but couldn’t find any evidence of earthing to the fittings. The fittings are 240v metal fittings and are easily within reach. The track adaptors have an earth terminal but they are wired in two core flex. The fittings have no obvious...

    Pat Testing question, again

    I started having an discussion with my NICEIC assessor about correct fuses in appliances, telling him that the previous PAT tester did not replace the plug fuses to match that of the rating of the appliance.

    Wet Pants strike again

    Called to a problem where the residents were getting shocks off of kitchen metalwork. There was a high resistance path on the socket CPC circuit which also fed the boiler and heating system so I'm taking the accessory plates off and inspecting the earth connections.

    Student begging for advice again...

    In my design project it's asking me for an example of switching for mechanical maintenance "relating to devices which are not under effective control." What on earth does that mean? If it's not something you can turn on and off with an isolator switch and lock, what are they talking about?

    DIY Dave strikes again!

    Been on a job today sorting out some lighting circuits. The husband took it upon himself as part of his kitchen refurb/extension to install downlights. He decided to wire it by feeding the lights from the switch as he thought that was the new way to do it to comply. He hadn't given any thought...
