another stupid question

Hi Chaps, what would i do with out you??

Ok, no I feel very stupid asking this so no laughing!!

A shaver socket is selv right?

is it vulnerable to ir test?

is it taken from the ring circuit?

ok there you go

thanks

A: no. its seperate, but its not less than 50vac, so cant be selv. would be slv (if such a thing existed!)

b: can be IR'd, but you can only do live/neutral to earth

c: more common to take from lighting circuit, or would need FCU from ring main

thanks again andy!!!

also on annother note,

I went to a guy today, downlighter tripping circuit, took it down (after cutting the mastic that held it up) and the cable had burned through as a result of resting on the lamp! the fitting is fire rated so no problem there, just replaced the tranny and back ok.

I was going to give a minor works but he would not let me switch off the power to do the relevent tests.

I was wondering, do you bother giving a minor works for that?

and what can you do when ther refuse to turn the power off?

thanks

for replacing like for like, i only ever give a cert if its requested. if possible, ill do an earth loop. but thats it

if all fine and dandy i wouldnt issue a cert. if there is a problem i would issue a MWC and note any thing i dont like, at least then you have expressed your concerns and there is a paper trail to it.

Hi Paul.

I have UN-deleted your thread.

YOU or ANYone else should never ever feel stupid.

Well done for having the guts to ask.

No-one on here will take the Mick, Mate.

I have asked far sillier questions myself



It's useful thread that people can learn from.

It is the USP of this forum - no mocking, no ridicule. You can ask how to wire a plug and someone will help you! Admittedly the thread will then degenerate into random schizophrenic musings, but there you go.

Ask us anything

OK Patch, What is the meaning of life, why are we all here, whats it all about, is there any point to it all , is there life on mars, was God an astronaut. What is the point of Big Brother ? Do you think Jennifer Aniston might marry me ?? I have an Escort Van.

What is the meaning of life? It's a Monty Python Film.......

Why are we all here? My gf is asleep, I quite like electricity! Nowt on tele......

Whats it all about? IT is short for information technology - it's do do with computers.

Is there any point to it all? Yes

Is there life on Mars? The planet or the chocolate bar? Yes to both.

Was God an astronaut? I don't know but Reved up Sparky may know. I can PM him on your behalf?

What is the point of Big Brother? It keeps the chavs and pikies off the street.
