I don't need to know that all I need to know if the circuts I am using can handle the current I will be drawing, as that is neglible the answer is.
If you are concerned about the heat I think are missing the most obvious danger which is the current being drawn.
Work classed as notifiable under Part P can be carried out by anyone providing a Building Regulations application is made to the local authority. There is no requirement to have the work tested - that is the responsibility of the Building Control Officer, and the BCO does not have to appoint a qualified person.
No-one, regardless of qualification, can approve someone else's work under Part P. It must either be carried out by a registered person (who need not be qualified) or be the subject of a B Regs application.
Owain
I assume this is a wind up but just in case...
You should listen to the good advice you have been given and get the work done by somebody who knows what they are doing. You're obviously not up to the job and could end up killing yourself, killing somebody else or burning the house down.
Incidentally I'm a qualified electrician who also happens to have an electronics degree as well as the usual C&G qualifications.
Please feel free to dismiss my views, if you wish to continue deluding yourself.
John
why would you want to run presentations in the loft, surly the office is a better venue?
lol
THe problem is that you don't appear to know that you don't know it.
For safety's sake, there is rather more to it than that.
The danger is that you will fail to provide suitable protective devices for the cable rating, or for the size of CPC in the cable you use. If the cable is too long, there are additional considerations.
The only people I am likly to kill are those who wind me up to much!!! :OP
Not much chance of killing myself, my father rewired houses without any education or training, and he didn't kill anyone.
eh?
I will work that out when I go and have a look at the existing wiring. I have an electrical multimeter you know, and I intend to use it :O)
It's uk.tech.digital-tv or had you forgotten you'd cross-posted?
I think you've summed yourself up nicely, and on that note - goodbye.
Which part of this didn't you understand?
The late Mickey Spillane did this sort of thing SO much better.
It's not my fault you have poor genetic material.
John
Oh wow. Now all you need are the insulation tester and the earth loop impedance tester. Multimeters definitely don't hack it.
Your delusion.
I certaintly hope we are not related.
It is posted to several groups obviously.
Goodbye, and don't bother calling me when you need your electrical system ugraded!! I won't even give you a quote.
No-one needs more than a neon screwdriver.
(Almost as good as a sonic screwdriver.)
Err... no it's a multimeter! Multi is French for 'many'.
Ye Gods! Is there really no start to your expertise?
I assume you're trolling, but it does make a refreshing change to find someone who appears to be ignorant in such a wide range of subjects.
John
And I bet it doesn't test insulation at 500 volts, or earth loop impedance either. If you think it does, then you are as ignorant as people thought you were.
Irrelevant. The cable/circuit protection still has to be there. If you understood the subject, you'd realise that.
As I understand what I am doing, and why, I don't need overpriced 'specialised' devices. Incidently you sell multimeters on the site you are touting but neither "insulation testers or earth loop impedance tester" :O)
I wonder why?
The voltage level in the UK is in the region of 240V by the way. I can test earth look and insulation without specialised equipment.
Someone you have something in common with you mean?
