    Cannot have a Spur off a spur but can use an extension lead?

    Probably a stupid question but why is it that you cannot (I think) run a spur off a spur but can connect an extension lead with loads of sockets on it? My son needs about six sockets in a new kitchen where there is only one double socket at present. How can it be done? As a matter of interest...

    Testing Ze when you cannot disconnect the bonding?

    I was recently watching John Ward's video series on Electrical Installation Testing. In the part where he discusses measuring Ze, he states that you only test the earth connection to the cut-out and need to disconnect it from the bonding and the CU to do this correctly. In his example diagram he...

    Electrical Inspections , who can and who cannot?

    Anyone settle this argument.. Any competent person can inspect and test and issue certs. Having the 2391 , full apprenticeship and NVQ's. You don't have to be in the competent schemes. Thoughts???

    I installed the stroma ipad app and it keeps coming up as 'untrusted enterprise developer,' and won't open so wondered if there is anyway around it.

    C2 or C3

    I would value your opinions on this. I did an EICR and found two lights in a bedroom that are florescent lights so class 1 but the lighting circuit is old and does not have an earth. However, the lights are in vanity units, so you cannot touch the units without dismantling the vanity units. As...
