Anybody good with electrics?

[Dave_L]

I need some guidance connecting up two circuits to my consumer board.

It is a new style MCB/RCD type board, as below....



Here is the RCD details, I'm thinking of using the two outermost spare RCD's for my lighting and socket circuit.



and finally, a closeup of the insides.....



I know this probably compromises Part P etc, but do you think I can get a 'spark round to do this *simple* job??

OK Dave, it goes like this

red to green
blue to black
green/blue to red
ashes to ashes
soul 2 soul

And remember to keep one foot in a bucket of water and a wet sponge on your head :p

Keep well away my friend and leave it to the experts.

Your board looks very much like the one i had installed by a mate of ours, it is ultra sensative and our electrics are always cutting out for the slightest thing

Ahha! I have a Part P Qualified bloke coming round tommorrow!

[flowjoe]

Is the correct answer

[eazybarra man]

It goes
red to red
black to black
and
Blue to Fxxx:D

[Dave_L]

fizz bang pop I get the idea!!

i think the diesel barrel lifting was a much better question Dave. i actually blew a consumer box off the wall and the screwdriver i was using melted ( that taught me not to fiddle the electric again ) :;):

[Dave_L]

Yeh, I think I'll stick to what I know best!

tarmac and cars dave
lectrics and plumbing are too dodge if they go wrong
i knew a guy put his own immersion heater in and blew his flat up (well all windows and doors gone and cat killed) its not worth the risk
LLL

I've re-plumbed my whole house, right from the water box on my own property upwards!

No leaks!

[seanandruby]

That's allowed Dave, you wont get a water shock, well not until you get the utility bill anyways :O

ELECTRICS AS WITH GAS. TREAT WITH RESPECT AND YOU'LL COME TO N O HARM. iF YOU HASVEN'T A CLUE LEAVE WELL ALONE. A SPARKY WILL SORT YOU PROBLEM IN NO TIME. YOU'II CREATE PROBLEMS LONG TIME! I DEAL WITH ELECTRICS EVERYDAY, SO FOR ME ITS EASY... BUT WHEN IT COME S TO SPECIALIST WORK, I CALL IN THE EXPERTS... SAME AS THE GAS, I'VE BEEN REGISTERED WITH CORGI FOR OVER TEN YEARS, BUT WHENEVER I FIND SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, I SEEK EXPERT ADVICE... AFTER ALL THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE TO BLAME...

[Dave_L]

I'm pleased to say all is done, connected and working - by a Part P Qualified sparky and not myself
