On the Napit certification page there is a little tick box, saying something along the lines of ' I consent to this job being used for my assessment '.
Does this mean Napit makes its own choice, from that list, or do we still choose which job is used for the assessment?
I haven't received part of my order from superlec. Its been 3 months. Lots of phone calls, lots of promises, nothing happens.
Just wondering if the forum sponsor is still around? I can't seem to find them.
Hi Guys
Time has come where we do actually need to start installing these. Few new builds coming up where is now a requirement.
Done the course 'couple years' ago registered with OZEV, pod point installer etc.
All I've done to date is put in the 1st fix for any units.
What put me off was the...
Hi all,
I am an experienced DIY electrician and I just wanted to ask a quick question about something since I am new to this forum, if it hasn’t really been answered anywhere else.
The question I have in mind is how come most electrical manufacturers still make single gang (25, 35mm etc) back...
So I have a outlet protected by a gfci breaker, and if you use the plug test the gfci doesn't trigger . I replaced the gfci breaker and the outlet still fails the test. The outlet seems to work otherwise.
When i plug in the tester it shows all green, though during the gfci test it shows hot...
I have had an EICR carried out by a NAPIT member, but I have noticed the certificate states ‘The inspection and testing detailed within this report and accompanying schedule has been carried out in accordance with BS 7671: 2018 amended to 2020’
Does this make my certificate invalid as I have...
If anyone still has a working KTS1620 to hand and is willing to try a very quick (non-destructive!) experiment please drop me a PM.
(Mine is flatly refusing to do something the service manual is saying it should do)
Cheers
8.5K shower unit is wired to plastic box consumer unit to 30 amp cartridge fuse with no RCD
It’s the original shower installed when the house was built around 1995
The shower is still fully working after all these years, never blowing the cartridge fuse before
Am I right to presume RCD wasn’t...
We had some old rcd testers in the office so I bought them home to see if they still function. Tester 1 no trip, tester 2 no trip go to my consumer unit and hit the test button no trip, shock horror how long has it been like that. Today I performed surgery and fitted a new device and it lives on.
Hi,
I would like some advice. I had a full rewire done 3 weeks ago and I am still chasing the electrician to issue the EIC. The electrician is registered with Napit and he is also on the Competent Person register. I have emailed + called him up multiple times, but he keeps making excuses. What...
I posted yesterday and then thought I had it figured so I edited post and thankfully, a moderator then deleted it. I apologize for making work for the moderators but now I have everything in order and I do have a question about running the ground from an attic fan.
The attic fan (Powercool Plus...
Hi
I'm removing an extractor fan from our WC, as it's just a toilet and sink and we never use hot water in there anyway...
The extractor is on the light circuit, but has it's own pull cord. I double checked by turning the fan and light on, then switching off the MCB. All good. I triple checked...
My Lasko electric heater stopped working and I thought it just played out so I replaced it with another heater that worked fine for a while, but when I went back to check it was also not working. A fan is on the same circuit and has been that way for years, the fan still works fine. Is this...
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...
If the max Ze for Tncs is 0.35 but you had a 1361 60amp fused isolator before the c.u with the 1361 having a max Zs of 0.56 (from the 80% chart) if the recorded reading at the c.u was let’s say 0.47 ohms would that now be considered to comply? i can’t see why it wouldn’t.
Maybe lack of coffee etc ! Voltage also dropped to 140 for a bit . New ring . wired up correctly but indicated "reverse " . Could not be possible . Then tested other way and same thing ! Its a luxury apartment and only in there fitting longe plates. Building sparks arrived and fiddled in...
