    Pull through then.???...........

    Straight pull out the top would have been easier, not sure why it wasn't done that way, possibly partially blocked by rafter or similar. But I did feel for the guy..each time it seemed like he was starting to get a run at it the sheathing crumbled away again, almost felt his heart sink each time...

    Crossed Polarity smart meter into mains

    Agreed that polarity check should have been carried out before and after the meter change...but I did notice the comment of 'the electrician said the connections were reversed at the consumer unit' live to neutral and neutral to live... Most people I've spoken to the meter fitter does not...

    Just a small 33KV to 600V 35MVA transformer

    21,000 kg of oil, you wouldn't want to be filling that with 5 Ltr containers from b&q

    New ceiling light - what am I doing wrong!!!

    I think your theory for how to connect the new light to the old light connections is probably OK. I do wonder though if while mounting the new steel bracket you might have nicked the insulation on the cables in the old ceiling rose and now have a short circuit causing your breaker to trip.

    What is the transformer's output with a multimeter

    If you intend to use the existing cables but now bypass the transformer and use mains voltage, bear in mind that from the photo they look like 2 core flex so have no earth conductor in them.

    If someone asks you to install one of these avoid if you can.

    Ply disc with routed moulded edge would have looked better then chased cable into ceiling, but that's easy to say after the deeds been done and you are not the one who's biggest concern is the fragility of the beast.

    Fluke 1652 MFT - Warning to everyone.

    Have Fluke actually put that in writing to you as the cause of the error...I'm with DPG I would be very surprised if a IPAD wi-fi was the real cause....

    I think this is a fail ...................

    Oh dear, can we just put this to bed. There is no China Export mark. There is only one CE (Conformité Européenne) mark. This mark should only be applied where basically the manufacturer has tested and declared that the product meets the requirements of the market and services into which it is...

    I think this is a fail ...................

    To be honest with cables like that I would question the build quality of the whole of the kit and suspect any supposed CE marking or other supposed approval markings it might carry. I would consider putting the lot in the bin not just the cables or pass to trading standards and report the...
