Hi All
I have been asked to supply a minor works certificate on a smart thermostat upgrade.
Would I just test the dedicated circuit from the CU to the spur or does it involve all wiring attached to the wiring centre?
Cheers PFH.
Hey,
I want to use an old xbox 360 PSU- 12V 175W output- for my 12V sup pump (pump/air compressor).
When I connected the PSU to the pump directly the SUP pump worked without a problem until it switched to the air compressor( it does it automatically after the pressure reaches 1 psi. The moment...
Hi All, this forum was incredibly helpful when I last posted. I'm a girlfriend (hoping to level up soon) to a man who is just starting his electricians training. I posted before about gift ideas for him and you guys pulled it out the bag for me and gave me ideas that covered me for a few things...
Evening all,
I just wanted to see if electrical improvers/adult trainees with appropriate levels of experience and who hold testing qualifications can complete minor works certs or EIC's for basic installs. For me that shows competence and skill as is always mentioned and certs are checked off...
Hi everyone,
I’m brand new to the site and hope everyone is doing well.
My question is this:
I have a 2365 level 2 diploma and have been doing some electrical work around the house , i.e. moving existing sockets and adding a spur. Can I issue my own minor works certificate? Or am I just over...
Some months ago the transformer feeding my road had a HV phase loss with the result that my house was only getting about 85V. It was interesting seeing what stuff worked and what didn't: for example, 60W bulbs glowed, fluorescent lights didn't(!), some LED lamps worked, others didn't, and my DAB...
Hi, can someone give me some advice RE completing a small works certificate for a fused spur coming from a ring final.
1) In part 2 of the AMD2 small works cert, its wants Zdb supplying the final circuit. Does this mean the Zs for the ring final that I measure or the MaxZs 32A MCB which is 1.1...
Evening all,
Pretty straightforward I think. I was led to believe that surge protection needs to be fitted on all additions and alterations including when doing minor works unless the client signs a waiver. Another sparky I work with claims that this does not apply if you are just adding a an...
Hi all, any suggestions, as my Horstmann only works when boost is switch on, even though an electrician has checked it two times! I do believe the settings are correct, any suggestions as to why this might be? Should the 'timed boost' have the black arrow there when the red button is on also...
Hey all,
Could do with some help.
I had a company recommended to me who quoted me to do an EICR on my rental property. (£265). I thought this was quite expensive but as I've been messed around no end by tradesmen I thought I'd go with the recommendation and pay the extra.
I also asked him to...
Morning all.
I was chatting with another spark the other day and he’s telling me I’m making excessive work for myself by issuing minor works certs for everything I do that isn’t covered with a EIC.
Eg if I change a socket I check everything first (Ze, Zs, PEFC, PSSC, R1+R2, RCD Trip times...
I installed a Leviton smart switch in a 3-way circuit and the corresponding coordinating switch in the picture (right switch). The lights function as they should using both switches.
However, I recently was about to install another switch on left side of the box, when I looked at the...
As above ,does any of the following work require a minor work cert,
changing MCB's, changing sockets, fitting CU blanks, filling CU holes with intumescent sealant (CU not to IP rating )
all noted during EICR's
some FI's which turn out to be loose wires in circuits
This is Scotland...
Hello all,
I'm a mere PAT tester and access this forum alot as I learn so much from it. I wanted to ask about like-for-like socket changes and issuing MWCs. I test fixed appliances also so I understand the correct isolation procedure. I often find damaged sockets and fused spurs and I'd like to...
I have fitted a touch control switch to a lamp, (I have done many no problem)…..However in this table lamp with a cast iron base the device does not operate when connected to the base? But when unscrewed the light turns on and 3 stage dims as it should. Any ideas welcome please.
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...
