[Pete999]

So Pete999 - would you wire a new house in 2017 or 2018 without RCD protection to these circuits?

No I miss understood your post

Definitely not above the ceiling .....

I was wondering about the reasoning behind having "three" against the smoke alarms rather than 3

The description on cert says "fixed wiring for 3 / 4 bedroom house, 4 storey" ................ whereas its a 3 bedroom, 3 storey house!

Alan from Afflington - you've been shamed.

...Tails come through a 30mA 2 pole,and all of this,is a trick question

 

[Dave OCD]

Every single insulation resistance result 200 Megohms, except for top floor lights 20 Meg L-N, not great on brand new wiring ?!

get the transit ready, we can bundle him into the back of a van and store him in a dry well with a copy of the reguations and guide on inspect and testing

Possibly but he also has a 10mm SWA for garage supply on a B16, maybe it has a lot of insulation around it.

Or a very big garden...

Method 'B' is correct for a domestic property.The additional bit after conduit is 'or in a wall'. So all channelled wires are reference 'B'.

He has got the disconnection time for the garage supply wrong at 0.4s.It should be 5 seconds.

But buried in plaster is C.

Only Afflington I can find is in Dorset. Bit of a trip from you.

I don't think it's credible to claim that a domestic electrical installation has been designed 10 years before its construction. For big projects there is good reason for that (but not with undue delay in starting) but it would be a nonsense to claim that for a domestic and certainly with that length of time passing.

Even if it was a large housing site it is usually developed in phases and each time a phase would of been put out for each of the trades to price

Quite correct .... Affliction to Farnham ..... Not the shortest commute @ 82 miles ......
