Unfortunately all the schemes appear to be just in this buisness to make money out of us. I'm a Napit member and it works for me. But would I use their coding book as definitive guide. No. Both publications are guides. If you have the relevant experience then you understand what to code what...

If the rcbos are tripping in time then it's a C3 only thing it can be.

Well they have to show that they are worth all the money we pay them 🤣

IET and BSI urges electrical industry to have its say on IET Wiring The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and BSI are calling on the electrical industry to have its say on an amendment to BS 7671:2018+A2:2022, which will go to DPC (Draft for Public Consultation) on 8 May 2024...

Ive used this in the past. Simple to setup and comes with software for you to get the data off. That's the company I hired from, they do deliver, but you may find a local supplier you can collect from. You don't need an energy monitor you need an energy data logger. So what your customer has...

Been called out to a school that's had a flood due to having the lead ripped off the roof. Replaced loads of panel leds due to water ingress but when testing there is no earth continuity on the cables feeding each driver and pir. They were fitted in 2019/20 by some company that used wago...

Yep down to whichever service provider they choose to supply the service. Depending on the area you might get a new analogue line installed but its very doubtful. Will probably end up with a fibre connection and router to provider VOIP. Even if no broadband is being supplied. If they already...

Oven 2.4 - 3kw Micro 1.65kw

I seem to remember being told at either a tech talk or something similar that there was a maximum rating for a fixed connected appliance that could be plugged in on a 13a socket. I know a 13a socket is 3kw but in my mind I've got 2.2kw as a maximum. I've tried looking in the BBB and OSG buy...

Agree CEF live was far better. I'm going to the fire and security show at the NEC this year as well. More freebies and cpd points lol

It was busy on Thursday till about 1230 then it thinned out.

Better attended than last year, but a few large brands missing. I think many are of the opinion that there are better deals and freebies to be had elsewhere ! So why take a morning off. I use it as my yearly pen restock as I'm forever leaving them places 🤣

I have a similar issue with my NVR. It won't run in chrome but does work happily in Edge or Internet explorer.

Anyone going today ?

We are only discussing it here on the forum. It's all fantasy. Of course in the real world I would always contact the supplier to arrange an appointment 8 weeks in the future to sit and wait all day for the engineer to turn up. I charge the customer a waiting time similar to taxi companies for...

The official line is either the customers energy supplier to fit an isolator. Which is not an urgent job so can take weeks. Or use a SIP provider. But trying to find a SIP provider isn't easy neither is finding out much about the SIP scheme !

No I must admit I have looked and watched the YouTube video by efixx about it. They did say that not many companies had signed up to it. It's always going to be an us and them thing until a sparky gets injured doing it. Then they will seriously do something about it. Anytime I've cut the...

They said while the calculations are old (1934) they give you a result that is acceptable. However you as the installer can determine it anyway that's sensible. Given that the power networks allow 8 amps per property for new housing estates the entire thing is a total farce !
