Good list now also in the 17th edition of guidance note 3 inspect & test.

Hi mate, welcome to the forum, new myself and found it very useful and at times entertaining. Like to see another biker too, have gsxr750k4 but only use it on track.

We use fire tough (fp) cable on external lights.

quoi que !

When your new drive is up and running, slave your old one to it and format from within windows. Easiest way to sort. P.m. me if you need further assistance.

Hi mate, These are awesome, been usung them now for 12 months... http://www.armeg.com/wood_beaver-A00066.asp

Hi batty I understand the theory of what the nic are saying :- Ra x I∆n ≤50v or 50v / .03 = 1666.6Ω I just dont get why we were asked to put it on forms and obviously others (special location) have not. Anyway enough questions time for a Guiness Drink Thanks

Interesting, to clarify it was not 17th course that pointed it out, i asked them the question. It was in our last nic visit march 2008. As we our due our next visit at the end of this month i will again be asking the question again. Sorry if this seems pointless to you guys, but i always ask...

Thanks batty and special location. I am well aware of checking and verifying figures on circuits, i am a test engineer for an niceic approved contractor. It was more of a paperwork question rather than practice. I asked the question of the tutor as i am aware 411.5 is for tt supply and this...

Sorry batty, you misunderstand me. yes i agree a high zs needs to be clarified, but last year through annual visit of niceic we were told to be putting 1666 on forms as max permitted zs for rcd protected circuit. I did 17th upgrade course and exam 2 weeks ago and noticed change to 1667, in...

HI guys, Aside from the way out reading of r1 +r2 on 10mm, can someone confirm that if you have correct mcb and also protection by an rcd the max zs allowed is 1667 taken from table 41.5 page 50 17th edition. thanks

well i didnt like it all the same, so as the shower was goosed i talked customer to puttin it a 9.5. (which works out less cause rated at 240 volt not 230). But what it did teach of was 9.5 on 6mm is fine so long as not too long a run. And correctly protected.

i called senior technical area manager (niceic)over a problem with a shower i had been called out to. 10.5kw on 6mm cable. i stated that was problem straight away. Engineer took me through cablecalc software and entered all details, (oh by the way manufacturers recommend shower to be on rcd...

That sort of reading i have come across before, 2 things to check for, Surge protection ext lead (customers always forget to unplug em) and last week had an rcd type switched fused spur. (of ring feeding a small waterfall in garden) When i took off rcd fcu, ring cleared, checked unit on its...
