[quote][i]Originally posted by Root[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by John[/i] I didn't reply because I was leaving it. The real reason is your previous bad electrical advice and now saying make sure he's got safety boots on. You'd have the power to the house cut if you weren't sure about it and test anything you still weren't sure about. What did some electrical engineering in college teach you about domestic electrics? [/quote] You're basing my previous bad advice on telling the guy to DIY it and forgetting to tell him to make it a ring circuit, which I then did. Also it was a very old installation. We helped advise him in the end of the best option without doing all the electric work. And yes, the MCBs would have to be flipped, but better safe than sorry, so wear the safety boots if you have them. You don't know if somebody is going to turn the power back on. Most industrial sparks lock the supply with a physical lock so that nobody can tamper with it while they are working. electrical engineering was 2 courses rolled into 1 really. We learnt about the different types of circuits in a house, different types of breakers, how to identify them, what wires to run, according to the installation. I also did some on site work with a few sparks and did a few house rewires with them, installed a shower and extractor for another person. I'm not clueless, but in my previous thread I did forget about the ring circuit bit and was advising him to do the work because to me, it doesn't seem hard, nor dangerous to do, I did then advise him to just get a spark in later and I'll stop advising others to do small bits of work themselves. Also I'm sure removing spurs doesn't need the work to be signed off. [/quote]
