Hi all!

Went to have have a look at a job today that had recently been reconnected by the DNO, where the tails come out the fuse head for the economy 7 the holes were just left open after the reconnection. I poked my tester in and they were live! The fuses (3 phase) are only 1500 from floor and about 2...

has any one had any problems with their metrel test instruments eating batteries?
my euro test only lasts five mins when fully charged and then tells me it needs recharging. has anyone else experienced any battery charge problems and if so is there a fix?
I have installed Ring Final Circuit in 2.5 LOR 120m protected by 32A breaker
Volt drop calcs - 18mv/a/m x 32A x 120m / 1000 = 69.
So the volts drop is 69 volts? which is way over the stated 3 or 5 %.
Am I diong this corectly and if so what can I do about the volts drop?
Cheers
I know that testers have been done to death, but I'm about to buy a new MFT and have set my sights on the Megger 1730 as one which should last me a long time. Does anyone have any bad experiences of this tester or can give me any reason I should really avoid it and look elsewhere?
I have recently had a new instal of electrics in my kitchen to which the electrician changed my previous plugs to fused sockets for my dishwasher and washing machine. I am now getting a popping sound from the dishwasher plug and a smell of burning is this a short circuit with the new system or...

Hi can anyone tell me why my intruder alarm external siren keeps sounding when I turn the power off in my house? Surely this shouldn't happen ? Cheers.
hi all,
My shower blew up in my face the other day, and after ringing my spark he asked me to buy an 8kW shower and he'd fit it when I have it.
Any particular models or brands you recommend please? TBH I can't see any 8kW ones, just 7.5 or 8.5?!
BTW I've been quoted £60 for fitting...

Hi again, just considering whether I'm going crazy or I've got a duff RCBO. Perhaps someone will help me see the light either way. Quite prepared for the former!
