    I know the difference between the 2 sorts but I'm thinking do I need to fit 10KA breakers in this scenario, when I've got 6KA MCBs in the van! 3 phase DB, Isc 4.9KA (phase to earth), all circuits from this DB are single phase. Will never be 3 phase in future (HMO). Worst case short circuit...

    Inspection question

Given that SWA rated to 90C can only be run at said conductor temp IF the accessories its connected to are rated to that temp also.

    fire rated downlights

    I'm fitting a number of GU10 down lights and am having a problem with the earth conductor - these units have a cheap nasty terminal block with all three connectors presented - L/N down to the usual moulded GU10 plug, no worries there. The earth is riveted onto the side of the downlight itself...

    IP rated or not?

    Hi all, As an apprentice I know a small amount about IP ratings and would like advise on whether the bathroom light in my parents house is IP rated. My thoughts is that it does not look IP rated and I can't see an IP rating on the fitting. My parents seem to thing that it was an IP fitting...
