And as i stated before there were two of them, the assesor and his boss, both agreed with me.

A lot of installations come out with maximum demand over the rating of the main fuse, i've even read (on another forum) that the NIC advise you to put down the rating of the main fuse on the test sheets. The Elecsa guy didn't fail me because he agreed with what i was saying and he was happy that...

Didn't think you were supposed to work live in a domestic property either. I know it happens but is that any safer?

Still say pull that fuse though! It's totally impractical to call out DNO every time you need to isolate supply. I live in Rural Norfolk and it can take them a month to come out, come on, are you telling me that i can run a business waiting around like that? On top of that, they don't always...

visual fault board with 12 faults easy, insulation resistance test rig with variable faults that can be introduced by examiner, 3 phase board with 230 volt dist circuit, split board in two and work on each half at a time. A couple of other test rigs on which faults can be introduced. The smaller...

Just a quick hello, thought i'd give this forum a go as too much s**t on s/f forum. Just a few ****s spoiling it with unhelpful comments etc. I'm all for a bit of banter, helps keep you sane but no need to bash people for asking questions. (And no i haven't had a bad experience, just sick of...
