wiring regs

I couldn't agree more!!!!!

Last winter I enrolled on a C&G 16th Edition course at the local Tech. I now know how to wire Farms, Swimming Pools and Building Sites etc - real useful to a DIY'er, oh yeah.... :-(

It's interesting that there are no evening classes for DIY'ers in the "Domestic Environment". Books too are a bit limited... Probably all down to the finances I expect...

Perhaps you are right but mine's a biggish project 3000 sq ft building with 3 phase supply and seperate wood workshop and living accomodation so I want to be on top of it rather than make expensive c*ck up. BCO hasn't shown much interest so far but you never know. I've done small houses with no probs, pre part P whatever that is.

all good stuff & but you do really need OSG & perhaps the regs themselves for a large job

also IEE "Electricians Guide to the Building Regs" ISBN 0-86341-463-X

Free & highly recommended is

..or maybe 2nd priority....1st priority should be to understand Ohm's Law & that watts =I^2R. They're about all the equations you need for

yup, would love a copy of the wiring regs CD, but don't much like the silly money they charge for it!

Even more when I bought one of them from Farnell... They had forgoton to zero rate books....

Ah. Happy reading and don't get sunburnt. ;-)

Not sure you even need that. You can cable a house by rote. Just tend to be generous with the circuits - which is a good idea regardless.
