The document provides safety guidelines and instructions for basic home electrical installations and repairs. It discusses checking for safety issues, how electrical systems work with components like cables, fuses, and ceiling roses. It emphasizes that any permanent electrical work requires inspection and certification by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Failure to do so could invalidate home insurance and cause issues selling a home.
At Caddell Electric, we understand that spending thousands of dollars can be unexpected. We recommend getting a second opinion for any large job. Even a third opinion is a good idea. Upgrading or adding to your existing electrical system is a major decision.

Circuit shorts February 2015 - Give your home an electrical health checkS W Bishop Electrical
Most of us look after our bodies pretty well don't we? While regular medical check ups are critical for maintaining your health, routine safety check ups are critical for the safety of your home. Even if you live in a modern house with an electrical system that's been professionally checked and approved in the past ten years, things can still go wrong.
Preparation for hazards and respect for this powerful energy source are a must. Even seasoned electricians need reminders on the basic rules of electrical safety. Here are a few to keep in mind.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

1. CHECKLIST:
• overall safety
• how it works
• cables
• fuses
• ceiling rose
Please remember when attempting any electrical installations at home that you are obliged to
get the completed job tested by a fully qualified electrician and obtain a minor works
certificate. Failure to do this may render your house insurance invalid and you may have
difficulty selling your home.
Over-all Safety
Check all walls for wires and pipes before cutting out for any new cables and boxes. A
detector such as the one below can identify cables in the wall. Click on the image to buy.
If in any doubt whatever consult a qualified electrician. There is a legal requirement to obtain
a completion certificate from a qualified electrician, for any work you do that requires a mains
connection. For any work within circuits a minor works certificate should be obtained.
• Turn off the power and remove the fuse from any circuit you are working on.
• Make sure no-one can turn the power on by mistake.
• Use only approved materials.
How it works
An electrical supply will come to your home your home at a main, sealed fuse called a service
head and from there will go to your meter via one large red and one large black wire. The
meter measures how much electricity you use. At no time should you touch either the service
head or the meter.
2. From here the electricity will go to your consumer unit, from where it is distributed around the
house. Each circuit is fused at this box either by an amp rated fuse wire, or a trip switch if you
have an RCD. (Residual Current Device) (Below, right)
The amount of electricity available to you is
measured in Volts, and the rate at which it
flows along its conductors is measured in
amps. The power required by any appliance is
measured in Watts. the formula for working out
the correct cable and fuse is; Watts
divided by Volts equals Amps
Electricity flows along the live wire, feeding
whatever is required and then returns along
the neutral wire to its local transformer. The
flow can be stopped by the insertion of a
switch, which for all practical DIY purposes is
placed in the live wire.
Switches, most often, will be linked from your ceiling rose through a separate cable, even
though one of the wires in this cable is black it is still live.
Electricity will always find the shortest or easiest route and you may represent it, so be
careful
3. Cables
Fixed wiring is done in cable. This consists of individual conductors (wires) sheathed
separately, by insulation to prevent leakage. The earth or "ground" wire is normally bare. The
wires are then jointly covered by the outer sheath. The wires are colour coded, red for live,
black for neutral and green/yellow striped for earth, where this is covered. Modern cables are
sheathed with PVC which has an indefinite life, older cables were rubber with about 20/30
years life. If your home has these cables do not attempt electrical extensions with them.
When installed, bare earth wires should be covered with an "earth sleeve" which can be
bought in all sizes at an electrical store or most diy stores.
1.5mm is most common in lighting circuits. When installed it must not exceed 110m in length
and carries a fuse rating of 5amps. (6 amps if used in conjunction with a miniature circuit
breaker). It is acceptable to run 1200 Watts on this cable, the equivalent of 12 x 100 Watt
bulbs, but lighting circuits are normally run independently on each floor of your house.
2.5mm (as above but larger) is usually used for the installation of power sockets on a ring
main. The circuit uses a 30 amp fuse at the consumer unit (32 with a MCB). Cable length
must not exceed 60m or 50m with an MCB.
Three core and earth is used to interconnect switches with more than one operation:
Flex, is simply flexible cable and is used for connecting appliances. The colour coding is
different using brown for live, blue for neutral and green/yellow stripes for earth.
There are many more cables for connecting cookers etc, but these are generally run directly
from the consumer unit and require a professional electrician for their installation.
Fuses
Fuses are placed into a circuit as a deliberate weak point. If anything goes wrong within your
circuit, the fuse will "blow" first. With the modern RCD boxes, the trip switch will go. BUT
BEFORE YOU PUSH IT BACK ON, LOCATE THE REASON WHY IT TRIPPED. Most of the
time it is because the circuit has been overloaded or there is an earth fault. If you are in doubt
4. contact an electrician.
Ceiling Rose
We have included ceiling roses in this section because it is the most misunderstood fitting of
all. Many people think they can take the old one off, do not mark the wires, and connect a
new fitting, black to black, red to red. It is not that easy, because in the majority of cases your
light switch will be wired to the rose, and in that case, at least one of the black wires will be
live. Below is a diagram of a wired ceiling rose showing you what to look for when working
with one.
