we lost 2. 3 remaining pups doing well.@telectrix - back in your basket, bad boy!
How are the pups, have you been keeping us informed on the maternity thread?
Join the red to the brown using a connector block.
Insert the two black wires into the L and N.
See what happens.
This may well be the case but what about verifying continuity/connection of the cpcs.RED with Brown at separate connector Black from red to N and Black from Brown to L
this is the last point in circuit and new 3core is running from switch )
This may well be the case but what about verifying continuity/connection of the cpcs.
Is this sticker recognised by BS7671Lighting circuits without cpc were the fashion in the UK prior to 1966 (13th Edition). So yes there are a lot still around. Obviously, the best fix, would be to rewire that particular circuit, but some customers either can't or won't afford this.
Another fix would be to run an earth from another circuit, but then you run the risk of that being inadvertently disconnected over time, or as I found recently an earth wire was used, bonded to a copper pipe.
There is another fix (following a risk assessment), that involves using only Class II luminaires and plastic light switches, then placing a pretty label on the consumer unit, indicating that particular circuit(s) does not have provision for earthing metal equipment. (Electrical Safety First - Best Practise Guide 1).
Not forgetting the pretty notice has absolutely no backbone in should you be faced with prosecution

What parameters would you base the risk assessment on and when assessment indicates a risk what measures would you put in place.Lighting circuits without cpc were the fashion in the UK prior to 1966 (13th Edition).
