    Mem Memshield 2 Board

    Mod3 or something last time I bought one. Clips on the top with a little cover that swaps with the MCB's existing one, pretty neat, but now obsolete so the price flew up recently.

    This Month Pe Magazine

    What a muppet. RED-Link is a un-fused link supplied for local isolation for metering. The fuse will be in a multi way distribution board in a cupboard somewhere. I install these everywhere! Newer ones have a smaller aluminium tube in them compared to that one that looks like brass. Also, the two...

    Any Dno Guys On Here?

    Haha, on the sky box subject. I've had a BT vision box in a block of flats show 80A with a clamp meter down the co-ax! Turned out that there were two incomers into the building. Only one side had the communal TV aerial system plugged into it. The neutral would intermittently drop out on the...

Every third bungalow (on the same phase) had all the earth wiring melted throughout. We re-wired them all, new CU in each, and...

    Newbuild 16mm T/E

    30mA 63A RCD on a 100A fuse carrier, with more than likely a 100A HRC fuse fitted - Sounds clever.

    Fuse In The Service Head Feeding Next Door

    I'm in the south, SSE. We're here, pretty much, to install rising mains in new builds for our owner, we do a fair amount of replacing the ones we fitted 50 yrs ago too. We do plenty of other work, though the company seem to want to do little bits for people that always pay, like local authorities.

    Fuse In The Service Head Feeding Next Door

    I work for contracting side of a DNO, we do quite a bit of work for our owners. Had a job a while ago from local council where a builder had charged a tennant for decorating etc in the lounge and not completed the works before buggering off home to eastern europe. Semi-detached property with a...

    Hygiene Standards In The Workplace

    Been in a flat yesterday, still occupied, to check out the meter/tails due to signs of bypassing as found when council went in to fit new C/H system. Turns out they removed over 3000 needles before calling us! The place was still filthy, no furniture, just crap.
