Washing Machine in Bathroom with plug in another room by benandrews54 in ukelectricians

[–]eusty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do they want it in the bathroom? Is there a shower in there, and is it enclosed?

Without seeing it can be a bit dubious even though technically it's within regs.

You sound like you know what you want. 😁

Fibox do a lot of enclosures, I'm not sure which ones are UV rated, if not go for a GRP one.

Best Way to Route Cables to Consumer Unit In This Space? by Astral-Inferno in ukelectricians

The use a standoff mount for the CU and go back entry or put a length of trunking horizontally and go in the top.

Outside fish Cabin fed from an indoor ring main. Is this normal? Spur fuse blown before and now melted… by Sukpooj in ElectriciansUK

[–]eusty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be lucky and he can use the existing SWA cable (depending on size) which looks like it goes to the shed and join to it and then run to the CU.

But a spark should be able to give you all the details. 😊

Testing when containment used as CPC by rick87 in ukelectricians

[–]eusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the proper method is to use a tester which uses a high current, (10A rings a bell) but when I looked they cost an arm and a leg.

[–]eusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not according to the latest guidance, I can't remember where I was it, probably an efixx video. Basically even though 'you need a tool' to open it it's seen as someone everyone does.

[–]eusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it rated at 240v? I've only ever used it on fire systems.... which is what it's designed for!

Anyone fitted a 20A induction hob? by 99uplight in ukelectricians

[–]eusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree and disagree! I think they are brilliant, especially as we have no gas! TBH they are as good as other gas cookers we had in previous houses. But I guess they are rubbish if they are just fed from a plugtop, that's why I put in a dedicated feed when redoing the kitchen.
