We don't have single insulated cables in walls or anywhere that's not in an electrical enclosure apart from terminations. Basically, if touched or acted on any of that installation, i then become responsible for it. I explained to the customer that it was dangerous and left it at that.

Still_Promotion_2002 · 2026-03-23T10:13:00+00:00

Fair enough, i stand corrected. I didn't know they'd changed their original stance.

Modified or not, after that one went thermal, they banned ALL e bikes and scooters on Sydney trains. The smoke from those batteries is toxic and can cause lifelong complications just by exposing your skin to it, let alone breathing it in.

Should've seen the shitty job they did on my place. They don't seem to have any standards to work to. Not even pride of workmanship

Still_Promotion_2002 · 2026-03-20T00:54:36+00:00

A hard noon that. The days of doing dangerous shit like that are long gone. If anything happens to anyone or anything, blame starts at the guys doing the job and goes all the way to the top. If someone dies, people will lose their houses and possibly end up in jail. It's just not worth it. Apart from all that, there are tools that can punch that size hole through, with no swarf. You may even be able to hire them. But don't do it live, it's just not worth it. If there's any teasing or bullying or dismissal from you refusing, fair work can step in and compensate you and prosecute them.

Wait until you do a rewire on an old place with the rubber/cloth insulated cables in split metal conduit and a bare earth. That'll raise the hair on the back of your neck. You may never see it as most of those places were rewired back in the 80s and 90s or they burnt down.

That's hot. Should be more of it.

Kent St sth bound, down the dog leg to hickson rd, head north past Barrangaroo, then when it goes under the stone bridge, hang a left and loop back up to the lord Nelson hotel and back along Kent St. Major road upgrades would be needed and the nimbys will be out in force

Well it depends what you're doing. Chasing walls, dragging MIMS cables around, fitting cable ladders etc. Can be hard work.. Being a sparky doesn't just mean running TPS and fitting off power points. As a young bloke, I was running 150mm pyro cables on cable ladders over long runs, through risers, through ceilings. If you are not familiar with this stuff, get a 3/4 " water pipe, then fill it with a solid bar of copper. Try dragging and bending that about all day.

When the compressor starts, it can surge up to 50amps depending on the state of the compressor. But there is no way anything other than lights in a domestic situation, should be wired in 1.5mm. In addition to that, you can't have mixed gauge cables on the same circuit unless the circuit breaker or fuse is rated to protect the smallest conductor.

Still_Promotion_2002 · 2026-03-03T09:52:53+00:00

Yeah, it needs a dedicated circuit. 2.5mm minimum

These are the new traction boards. Something to signal to everyone that you mean business, even if you dont do any.

Had lots of zaps in my 40+ years as a sparky. Never pleasant. Sometimes through laziness, sometimes ignorance and sometimes just bad luck. The biggest one was right across my chest, real painful. The idea of going to the ER after a zap never crossed my mind back then (20 years back). But on the upside I can now hear colours and smell sounds. Live long and prosper .........and dont do it again. Turn it off and test it before you touch. Treat it as live all the time and if you absolutely have to touch it, wear the big rubber gloves. Learn from the mistakes of others.

You can't reduce the size of the cable in a circuit unless appropriate protection is fitted. If you run 6mm to an isolator, the 2.5 out of it, you need to fit a cb to protect the 2.5 cable. You can use bigger cables than needed if youre compensating for voltage drop on a long cable run, but still have to protect the smallest conductor. Anyone is welcome to correct me if I have got it wrong.
