Feeding through two layers of ply 8" apart in a wall amongst the joists without drilling a hole you can walk through. I know its self inflicted but just seemed a possible solution.

The CU was fitted last year so I thought it could be either? Yes thats true but it is a fairly simple ring of 24m of cable and half a dozen double sockets in a kitchen. I have split the kitchen into two circuits as one would be horribly lop sided. Now I know three single sockets could...

OK sorry for the lack of clarity. I have say a ring 2.5TE which is pretty standard so lets say it complies with 17thE. I propose to join the ring in a Wago box using the 32a rated connections this is to be attached to the party wall between the house and garage where the CU is. The ring is...

Hi all Some more questions of you gurus to get opinions as well you know the regs are sometimes open to different views. 6242B 4mm TE (Ref A  33Amp) Is this OK for a lollipop handle on a ring with a 32A breaker? Wago box and wago 773 173 connectors OK for 32A as the connector for this...

Thanks for all the responses folks.

I'm not going to fit a meter in the dwelling as the barn is rarely used now and.......drum roll,  I wont have to have a 'smart meter'. That will make it all worth while 😎.

Hi We had to fit a disconnect and an RCD at the meter as EDF specified this to protect their supply even though the supply is fused. Dont forget the meter is very remote from the points of use 300 and 400+m The meter RCD is 300/30 as its only function is to protect the mains, all take offs are...

The supply is on an RCD and isolator already just at the meter so the new ones would be really be dupliates on the supply circuit.

There is an isolator in the meter hut but bringing duplicates into the house is probably the best way forward.

Thanks for that. It may not be strictly necessary but it makes compliance easier to prove. I will also add another RCD whilst I'm at it as i want to put a time delay RCD on the meter board to replace the 30ms one,  its a long walk!!!!

The barn ran big 3ph motors without problems and always read at 230/40 on all legs. It also ran a couple of 3ph scroll compressors that were wired with low voltage protection and phase protection (by myself)  and never gave a flicker. One motor of 8kw we never got around to fitting soft start to...

Hi All the cables were sized using the cable suppliers sizing calculations for 100kva and the use of the term oversize was in relation to its cost about £4000 ten years ago. the supply to the dwelling has been sized correctly for a potential supply of 30kva but only utilising a 23kva box at...

Hello all. This is my first (probably of many) question so please be gentle. I have been trying to get an answer to this but seems it is not as straight forward as it looks so i am hoping you wise souls can give me a clear concensus😋 (or just a majority) view. We have a large 3ph supply to...
