Guest Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 While we are on this subject, did you know that we now cannot run telephone wiring thru kitchens or bathrooms as phone voltage is 100v when ringing. 38315[/snapback] 75VAC +- 25VAC to be exact..

Guest IM_Alarms Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 you can still do any mains jobs.tho if it needs testing for insurance etc you have to get someone with a bit of paper to test it for you even if said person with bit of paper knows nowt This is a stickey situation because a completion certificate can't be issued for someone elses work. So the only route for you is to inform the planning authority and they have to inspect it and charge you. I have yet to hear how much the fee is and even anyone who has had it done yet!! I have been asked to certify other peoples work a few times so far. So people are a bit ill informed. Hopefully it will settle down to a workable system .............. in a couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooly-bobs Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Adding a spur to an existing circuit is outside the scope of Part P, unless it's in a kitchen or bathroom. 38271[/snapback] Whats the case if the panel is mounted in the kitchen then? No funny coments about putting one in the bathroom please. I could see that one coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I once had to install a panel to bathroom... 38380[/snapback] Yes but that was a 'bath panel' Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Electrics Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 75VAC +- 25VAC to be exact.. 38318[/snapback] UK PSTN systems X and Y work at 95v AC ring voltage Dial tone 50 Vdc at 40 mA When circuit is waiting for instructions and drops to 20mA when circuit has looped open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 and what if the spur was just outside the kitchen door but within arms reach of the panel? 38381[/snapback] That's OK, as it's still outside the kitchen. The kitchen ends at the kitchen door. If the panel is in the kitchen, and the spur is, then it has to comply with Part P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooly-bobs Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Might of bloody known someone would of fitted a panel in a bathroom! Was it next to the microwave near the shower? Or did they only have a hot plate stove type thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
