    Thoughts on this EICR?

    I have been asked to look at this report as the customer has been given (in their words) 'A very high quote plus VAT'. It doesn't look well written at all. However, what I cant understand is the very high quote when there is only 1 x C2. My thoughts... 1. Nothing written in 'general condition...

    Thoughts on this scenario?

    Im just curious as to peoples thoughts on the following install I seen on a video from an Electrical firm today and they did the following: Ran power to an outdoor shed by coming off the downstairs ring by coming off one of the sockets with a 4mm 3 core cable to an outdoor socket. They then ran...

    Thoughts on an EICR on this board prior to physical testing.

    Opinions on this Crabtree TP 10 way board? Got to test this next week after a quick recce on a clients site yesterday. Although probably electrically safe the RCCB is feeding everything including another board Fed via an SWA and some external services also in armoured to. Thing that bothers me...

    LED mirror has double insulated symbol & earth wire - what are your thoughts?

    I recently bought a bathroom mirror with LED & Bluetooth speakers (from Amazon). There is a double isolated symbol on the back of the mirror yet there is also an earth wire connection. Is this unusual and should it be a cause of concern? It has not been installed yet - just wondering what your...

    Your thoughts on RAAC in the news?

    So what are your thoughts? Over 100 schools in England closed, 40 or so in Scotland after a building material with a projected lifespan of 30-40 years has started to fail well after its projected lifespan. Media induced panic yet again comes to mind. As far as I can tell, there has already...

    Any thoughts on this old thing?

    Quite old main switch RCD, it occasionally trips (every day or two), then won't turn on until all breakers are off. Ramp test at time of testing was 25ma, earth leakage meter said 5ma (so consistent). Is the RCD likely to simply be old?! Are they tetchy switching on under load? Haven't got into...

    What are your thoughts on people wanting to be ultra neat when wiring inside boards?

    I get wanting to do a good job but does being super neat inside a board really make it a better job? I don't see any advantage to it aside from aesthetics and if it's something that's not seen then....what's the point in obsessing over how neat it all looks? To me it's a bit like a kitchen...

    Thoughts on moving an existing CU

    Local funeral place is getting a new mortuary fridge unit, and needs some work done. The CU, just for the room, is high up in the corner, just above the fridge unit. Stupid place to have it, as you need to crawl over the top of the unit to get to it. 2 foot of crawl space, and my dodgy knee...

    Thoughts on this EV install

    Took this photo from a Facebook group where someone was asking advice about the CT. Regarding using the meter box in the first place and making holes in the side of the meter box.

    New Song (Thoughts Please)

    I composed the music in Logic Pro 9 and added Monks chanting over the top. Does it work? The monks come from the link below and I did have to do a little pitch adjustment to make it fit 2:30 onwards in the vid

    Thoughts please, SWA vs T&E

    I have a TPN board that will feed 8-10 sub boards. The loads on each board are negligible 5-10 amps peak but mostly 1-2 amps. The distribution circuits will be fed in 6mm mostly for VD reasons but also to allow some selectivity on the OCPD(MCB) my dilemma is SWA or T&E. The route is 98% tray...

    Thoughts on this cut-out

    Just wondered what others think about this one. From my pov at least incoming meter tails need changing. Single insulated and probably under sized.

    your thoughts please?

    I`ve just spoke to a lad in customer services at the nic about getting reregistered on the AC scheme to be told that I basically have to go back to college. I closed my company in 2019 and went to a firm and carried out commercial eicr work. I now want to start back on my own but cant get...

    This one's new to me... Your thoughts please gentlemen.

    So how about this metering setup anyone? I have never come across this setup before, and I wonder whether the client would be better off keeping it rather than persisting with his attempts to get a smart meter fitted because he's keen to monitor and reduce his bills.... that is I wonder how...

    Thoughts on DNO / Supply Cable

    Hi all, Some time last year a contractor who visited our house suggested that our mains supply cable coming into the house could be coated in asbestos containing materials but that it wouldnt be possible to sample it due to it being live electrics. He advised to contact the DNO for further...

    Anyone used these new sockets from MK? What are your thoughts?

    New sockets by MK - anyone used them? Almost like WAGO connectors to the back.

    Olympics - what’s your thoughts?

    No crowds, all new sports, many GB medals? we’ve now got skateboarding…. With the commentators spouting words I’ve not heard since the 1990’s…. the British boxer(?) that wasn’t pleased with his Silver and threw his dummy out the pram. (If you can’t display good sportsmanship, then the olympics...
