Rulland Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Well that's one way of ensuring it isn't unplugged accidentally, Little transformer backed up by a 32A fuse, nice.

arfur mo Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 But then, how often do you see a door bell transformer alongside the CU wired to a 32amp rcd with twin bell wire? If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

datadiffusion Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 BS approved Bell transformer is exempt AFAIK, if wired direct to 5A or 6A? Might be making that up So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36094-power-to-the-diyer/#findComment-366999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be making that up that shocks me if true boom! boom! personally, sod that for a game of tin soldiers, if i fit one, has to have spur or plug, 3 amo fuse max i have always assumed the CU being mounted on a lump of timber is for insulation needs, or to get cables behind, but us that correct and still required? just tweaked my curiosity for some reason. 1 If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
