    During an EICR I have found an isolator with no cpc present bolted to a large metal post and all the motorized metal car park gate, the fact that the isolator has been moved but the cpcs are not present. I get a zs from the metalwork of 36 ohms, as the wires pass though I class this as exposed...

    Is the MET an exposed conductive part?

    Hi all, while working on the bonding task of the L2 G&G I assumed the supplementary bonding CPC should be 4mm2 due to the table in the OSG -(p.51. size of protective conductor = 16mm2) However another student said the MET is an exposed conductive part so the CPC should be 6mm2 - even though...

    Multimeters, Can we use them on Random exposed cables.

    I have been toying with multimeters on cables carrying currents I know the ratings of. If we are out in the field, is it safe to use them on exposed cables we don't know the rating of?

    Some of the plastic light switches in my home are fixed to plastic back boxes. The metal screws securing these switches are therefore not earthed. An electrician who tested my system insisted that these screws must be hidden by plastic covers - is this necessary?

    Hi, I have just replaced an old isolator switch on our shower and have discovered after wiring that the old live wire is a little exposed through the cable shield (presumably where it has been snagged in the ceiling at some point - see photo). I'm a little concerned that this could be a...

    I’m having a new wall constructed. Whilst digging the foundations the workers came across the incoming main. Note that the steel armour is entirely exposed. U.K. power came to confirm it was their cable but didn’t mention anything relating to the cables condition. Surely this is a ticking time...

    So I fitted a new metal faceplate switch on the wall socket for my cooker. All went well. As I'm also tiling I took it off a few days later, and noted some of the live wire insulation rubbed off presumably by me screwing the screws in when assembling. I have read of this before, first time hrs...
