    Extractor Hood Tripping Rcd

    Hi all. When to a job this moring RCD had tripped, narrowed it down to the kitchen sockets, but found that the RCD stayed on for about 20-30 seconds before tipping out. Unplugged everything, so I thought. Tested the RCD 1x 37ms - 36ms. 5x 11ms - 13ms. Ramp test 19.6 mA. Then I realised the...

I turned the light on, went to the circuit breaker, flipped the switch and the light went out, so I figured the light must be on that circuit, so far so good (I thought}. I took the light...

    Who are the electricians general builders use to sign off anything and everything?

    I've worked for a few builders over the years, and all of them seem to have a "go to" electrician they call upon when needed who'll seemingly sign anything off, regardless of who installed it, how they installed it, or whether or not it complies. I just can't get my head around how there are...

    Everything RCD protected?

    Hi all, My understanding is that everything should be RCD protected now, as it is unlikely that all the criteria is met for it to not need RCD protection. I went to my friends house the other day and the consumer unit had a periodic inspection and test carried out by the local council last...

    Location Is Everything

    ...and I'm in the U.S. Just spotted this friendly-appearing site to ask a generic question. When I get to asking how-2 questions, had I better find a U.S. forum because the grids are different, or are you-all either from all over or conversant with all over? Thanks! Flatcat

    I know everything.

    I would hazard a guess that most on here also know everything. The missus sometimes call's me Jesus because i like woodwork. Those who know everything, will know that Jesus was'nt a carpenter.
