Nice to hear someone else thinks like me :) I finally managed to get a coherent response from Dorman Smith, they even sent me a wiring diagram for their 4 pole RCCB.

I know Ive use a 4 pole on three wire, but I cant remember how I got the test button to operate. Im sure I had to put a resistor in across one of the phases and the neutral way of the RCD. Any ideas?

I know a couple of guys who have seen their work dry up and had to take a job, ask yourself where you see the rest of your work coming from. If you have an answer then go for it, if not then try and get an answer.

Has anyone seen a Triple Pole RCD? All I can get are 4 pole, and the guys selling me them cant tell me if they will work on a three phase / three wire system!!

Looking for a sparky in the Wakefield / 5 towns area. Mainly industrial ATM, 3 phase - control systems etc, test and inspection, installation. PM if interested.

Cheers peeps, confirms my suspicions....

Thats what I thought but I couldnt find any reference in the regs

Bonding seems to be a happy subject so here is a little question for you all. I have been asked to T&I a commercial building and have been over for a quick look at it before I submit a price. As I looked at the incomer and mains board I noticed the main bonding conductor (singular, 10mm2)...

Thanks guys, the job currently looks like its been bodged anyway. The folks have recently moved in and tell me a lot of stuff was DIY.

Does anyone deal with phone sockets and extensions? I went to a job this morning and was asked if I could sort out the phones, BT had told them an electrician would be cheaper. Currently they have a BT line from the pole to the house terminating in a small box at high level. From this is what...

I'm near Wakefield, not too far away. I'll keep you in mind

The insulation is the same, unless you get LSF or Tri-rated, but singles are stranded conductors and therefore easier to manipulate

The white writing gets a little difficult to read towards the bottom of the page as the blue background gets lighter. The TOS link and the bottom Enter Forum link are almost lost, otherwise looks good

I see the same page in both browsers?

And you're not dead because.................

just going out myself, talk later mate. Looks like a good start though

Go in and look for four wires going to the motor, reverse two of these and it should work.

jl, clear your PM's. I cant send one as the site tells me you're a hoarder!!

You are also throwing power into the mix, so not only do you have ohms law (V=IR) you have P=VI (Power=Volts * Amps). It can get confusing but try and keep the two separate and if one seems to be giving crazy answers, use the other

That is a great idea, must keep a couple of them in my van :)
