    Emergency lighting and smoke alarms

    Thanks for your reply as the Lights are Emergency lights I'd assume that the lux level would be correct but failing that I have a LUX app on my phone. I can't see there being a problem with turning off all the lights as this would be done in the daytime when the tenants were at work so no...

    Emergency lighting and smoke alarms

    Cheers for that I'll look it up 1595093998 Just Googled both numbers and neither say that you can or can not use the wiring for the emergency lighting in such a way that when testing, the whole lighting circuit is shut off. BS5226 just suggests that if you cannot add a key switch then you can...

    EICR and RCD's. Is it a C2 or C3?

    How funny I've just been having this discussion with my knowledgeable supplier as I have to do and EICR on a 7 way wylex board with no RCD and he said as I can't prove that the cables are deeper than 50mm and the customer does not want to a new board then he suggested an up front RCD. I've just...

    Not sure if I've confused matters but the supply for the "shed" will be 3 core SWA only one live this will be fed via a fused isolation switch in the house with a consumer unit in the "shed"

    They are having a new combi fitted so no need for an electric shower in the house. We are asking the DNO to fit a new 100 Amp fuse and I was going to fit a fused main switch in the house so that they can isolate the "shed" if need be plus to protect the cable. 1591813224 might sound a silly...

    I know what you mean but this Shed is going to be used like a small bunglow/office and its the distance from the main house that causes the problem on the cable size 1591792848 So with your help it looks we will be pulling about 88 Amps so with the fact that some of it is going under ground and...
