Morning All,
I am currently involved in a project for 2 under pavement vaults both have been stripped out to allow for full tanking (wall and ceilings). The damp company have said the client cannot penetrate the surface once the works are complete otherwise the guarantee is void.
We need...
Hi All,
What's your thoughts on this. If you have a 2.5mm radial bunched in with a ring main on a 32a breaker then that's a C2 but you can spur off a ring main out in the field no problem...
What's the difference ?
The switched connection unit for the kitchen extractor fan and the lower part of fan is now behind a larger fridge, so the fan can't be operated without climbing onto a worktop.
I would like to replace the fan with a Manrose LP150STC, which has terminals for a switch on the live line, and bring...

Hello all,
I moved to China 6 years back for my wife’s work. Trades aren’t really a proper thing out here and there is nowhere to requalify and COVID has made it impossible to go home and re sit.
I was wondering if I were to try and get work in another country, say Middle East or Canada, could...
Hello all.

Covid has killed my existing job, and at 53, I am struggling to find something new.
So... do I go back to full time sparking? Ideally...
Hi, moved into a new home and the sockets for the fridge and freezer have just been left loose on the floor behind the kitchen cupboard base trim. To me this look like a rough installation but Persimmon insist it is within the regs. Can anyone confirm and if it isn't do you know which reg I can...
Hi,
Glad to have found a good forum to ask my electric related questions.
So my property had old vir cables nearly throughout and ceramic fuses. The company doing the rewire is 3/4 of the way through, but I have a few questions.
1. Are the original light switch back boxes still under current...
I've just recently had the shell of an extension built and will be doing most of the interior except for electrics and gas.
I'm planning to chase the walls for where I'll bed in the new conduit to the location of sockets etc before any plastering is done and know the regs on the minimum and...

If i show you the tab I don't suppose anyone would no what...
Morning all.
Passed my C&G 2382-18 18th regs exam this morning - 95%, which works out at 57/60 correct, so I 'm chuffed with that.
There were no questions at all on EVs or SPDs, despite the practice exams all having them. I guess the computer picked other things from the pool.
Happy Thursday ?
So having a look at the electricians guide to the building regulations, section 7 safe working.
7.3 is about pre work tests and is states that electricians should carry out the following test before any installation work is carried out including additions and alterations to existing...
So I am getting an external socket fitted for a tenant to charge her electrical car. She is adamant that all that is required is an outdoor socket (waterproof presumably) even though i have had an electrician round who says it needs a seperate earth rod and dedicated rcd.
I think the confusion...
Scotland gov rules are that alarms can be 10 year sealed battery powered or mains powered while building regs seem to insist on mains powered.
Are the regs changing to allow 10 year sealed battery powered alarms to be acceptable in England?
Hi
I am being thick i am sure. I am doing some pre work on an EV charging course i am doing in November. I got to a part mentioning volt drop and ref in the regs book. Not looked at this for a while, so i thought i better check it out. Table states figures for Public Supply and figures...
Hi, just undertaking an EICR on a factory and have came across, some perished shrouds inside of an old main frame board, i can not seem to find a regulation relating to this if there is one, also the boards have a wooden top panel where the cables enter before glanding off on the internal gland...
Ok friends.
So this evening I was trying to install an electric oven in a friends kitchen. The kitchen is quite small and it was bit of a squeeze carrying the oven from the living room to the location of installation.
Whilst connecting up the heat resistant flex cable, I could just about see...
