hi Mc listen mate , just a note of caution , Argos for leckie bits naaaaaa. If you wanted to buy a brand new BMW would you go to a Nissan garage i think not . Try a reputable supplier, and remember cheap is really cheap .Experience with light switches and sockets has taught me Volex are excellent. C...

Add , just a thought , get your part p and 2391 then set up a leckie company and employ yourself , you are then in the trade and can do level 3 dada ! magic hows that . At least that way you can have full knowledge wat your apprentice is doing , i know it sounds funny and i am having a laugh but ,yo...

Hi Sparks , can you recommend some test equipment for me , have looked at Kewtech stuff ,both single aparatus and combined which would you suggest mate . Cheers Jeff

Jeffmo

hi , the oven should be fine in the socket you mention , not quite sure about the hob as it runs at about 27 amp . cheers Jeff

Jeffmo

Hi sounds to me like it could be your cable sizing , check the cooker output and get back to the forum also see what size the cable from switch to fuse box / consumer unit is .Regards Jeff

Jeffmo

so am i right in thinking that only lecky company can pull main fuse? or do you have to call them in just to put the silly little tags on . Cheers mate Jeff

the original shower blew its fuse , are you saying you have two showers in the house. When you had the new shower fitted ,was it a plumber or an electrician that fitted it all ie plumbing and wiring .? If things start blowing fuses then its not really enough just replacing the fuse , there must be a...

Jeffmo

easiest thing maybe that a wire has come loose in the switch head , showers should be on a dedicated circuit either with a seperate RCBO or on the rcb side of your consumer unit , if its an old type FUSE box and its wired straight into that , then don't use it anyway .Assuming the shower is in a bat...

Explain wat u mean about stripping back to 5 amp fuse , it reads like the light was run off a socket spur more info required , and we will see what we can do for you . Cheers Jeff

sounds ok , but make sure it is 10mm earth wire and make sure the contact surface of pipe to clip is clean . Also remember you shouldn't be doing it . Naughty naughty. Regards Jeff. PS get a qualified leckie to check all bonding its important to save your life

as per previous ? Sparks my shower cable is only about 4mm and the run is about 6 metres , ( the shower is a mira sport i think it is rated at 9 or 9.5 kw ) it is clipped all way , i noticed though the cable does get quite hot when shower is in use .At the moment it is on a 40 amp mcb . Can you use ...

Jeffmo

as far as i am aware there can only be a recommendation to rewire , unless you get an installation checked by a qualified electrician in which case they should do a full test of the wiring systems in your house ,and they are obliged to and legally bound to note the requirements of the wiring , I wou...
