    EICR, no 3A fuse for a fan

    I dont go maintaining/cleaning my fans at night time, so I (radical I know) wander over to the consumer unit and turn off the MCB for the circuit that powers the fan.

    Yes, but that’s for stuff like lathes, not a bathroom fan.

    How would you code it if there's no isolation switch? Don't remember a reg for that...:confused1:

    UK Shower switches burning

    Has anyone worked out why it is more often the neutral rather than the line connection that fries?

    7. 3 kw INDUCTION HOB

    That’s your second opinion then. When I was “on the tools” I hated customers who bought their own materials. Often it was just plain wrong, or some cheapo tat that wouldn’t last a week. Or it hadn’t arrived. All of these added to time on thd job, and cost the customer more ££. On more than...

    7. 3 kw INDUCTION HOB

    Sorry. With respect, you are considering a brand new circuit. That is notifiable work and not a DIY project. You need a registered electrician to do this work for you, to test, certify the installation and notify the local authority that the work complies with building regulations.

    Getting very difficult to use this place!

    What maximum amperage for cables

    New T&E cable...

    Since 2017 this has been a requirement in the Republic of Ireland. In addition to an insulated earth conductor it must be sized the same as the phase conductors. https://www.wesco.ie/news/new-twin--earth-wiring-rules.html

    Click UK switch fuse

    Or decided to take their metal knitting needles in there. I was trying to make a sensible risk assessment. Silicone is not conductive snd - in any case - why touch it while it’s wet? But we are now talking about resolution of the issue. I thought you were doing an EICR?

    Click UK switch fuse

    Hmm. Should be fitted with a tails shroud (or a dob of silicone). Doesnt meet IP4x but you ain't going to get your finger in there. In the real World - C3.
