    Central heating programmer cable 3 and earth

    Yeah, sorry I thought it would get confusing. So the supply for the programmer would be the 13a plug up in the cupboard. The supply for the boiler in the kitchen would be the fcu. This would then mean that the 3 and earth would no longer be supplying the boiler with power and would only be used...

    Central heating programmer cable 3 and earth

    Yes, this is a cracking diagram that someone has spent time doing. It really helped the first few times I installed nest etc. My post is to try and avoid ripping up tiled bathroom flooring to get to run a cable. If I can use a supply to the boiler from a sfcu that's right next to it then I seem...

    Central heating programmer cable 3 and earth

    Is Y plan system boiler. The mains feed for the programmer would still be the 13a socket but the mains feed for the boiler would be the fused spur and not from the wiring Centre. This would also mean that the boiler could be isolated locally, via the sfcu. Yes I'm a sparky.

    Central heating programmer cable 3 and earth

    Hi, Hope you're all doing well. I have a customer who needs a 5 core cable to the boiler from the wiring centre. At the moment the feed is coming from a 13a socket in the upstairs cupboard through the programmer into the wiring centre and then 3 and earth under bathroom floor and into the...

    Anyone with a fluke 1664fc?

    I have been using mine for a while now. So many features I find it difficult to find time to try them all. Every electrician who I've worked with has been wowed by the features and the price! However, on no-trip, mainly on TT systems, it trips the RCD. Spoken to technical many times and the main...

    Thank you Adam.

    Which edition the consumer unit is

    I'm only "recommending" that it be changed not that it is changed. I would of thought highlighting improvements that can be made is a good thing?

    Which edition the consumer unit is

    My apologies, I thought it would have been a C3 because of the line: Condition of enclosure(s) in terms of fire rating etc (421.1.1.201; 526.5)

    Which edition the consumer unit is

    The consumer unit complies with BS7671 16th edition. I would recommend that it be replaced to comply current regulations - C3. Or would you just say complies with an earlier edition of the regs. That sort of thing.

    Thanks Spoon for the sensible and helpful response.

    Which edition the consumer unit is

    Ok, so the consumer unit complies with XX edition?

    Which edition the consumer unit is

    Hi, Just a quick question. I've done an EICR on a house and the sparks who I normally go to for advice has said the board sounds like a 14th edition. He knows most things but in this case I think he might be wrong! I believe it's a 15th but can anyone give me a 'general' break down of the...

    New multifunction tester

    Cheers for the responses Westward10 and Telectrix. That's good to hear. It's expensive enough, without being told that the new equipment is now out of date! Think I might go for the Fluke 1664fc, purely because it has the 'insulation pretest'. Anyone know if this really does work and shows up...

    New multifunction tester

    Also, to say hello to everyone. I will be looking at gaining some much needed advice and hopefully give some as well. My background is as a sky installer and working with home automation. I have been going out with a few electricians over the last year to try and understand what I learnt in the...
