    PIR

    I'd ignore the landlords meters, look up the definition of a system in the brb, I would but it's upstairs & I'm too lazy tonight! IIRC you will find something along the lines of a single origin of supply, i.e. DNO head and then the consumers installation. So, I'd go for one installation...

    OK I should have worded my Q a little better. :Blushing Not so much "critical" of the test equipment terms, more a better description of the expected readings. If you've done 2391 think of the rig faults, I have a little advantage as I have trained too, not 2391 but as I had passed it one of...

    Explaining

    sellers, It does hurt a little but as I'm here typing this it is obviously not fatal to me! :Blushing It does cause you to smart somewhat though. :_| I found it no worse than the around 30kV shocks I used to get when diagnosing misfire faults on petrol engined cars with electronic...

    conduit coupler?

    Could you not get a flaring/swaging tool that you hit down the bore that enlarged the end so that you could then slide one tube inside the other?

    Another puzzle

    You are getting there. Mains is not yet connected, the OP says that one IS TO BE the mains supply. I don't think that continuity would be an acceptable answer for 2391-01? Could the LE lamp give a zero, low or high continuity or open circuit? We need to definitively pin down which cable is...

    Another puzzle

    Admin, End to end continuity is a no-no as 2 of the cables are already terminated into their respective current consuming apparatus and sealed off and buried underground. The first fix markings were unfortunately taken off by the gardeners when they were sorting out around the box. Any other...

    Diabolical Manufacturers instructions

    Thats appalling! I would expect that trading standards would be interested in that! A "good" legal eagle could make that out to be a breach of statutory legislation I'm sure with the correct expert witnesses!

    Which book next??

    They will probably be the last update done, IIRC all the other GN's have now been updated to the 17th, so hopefully GN8 updates will be done soon? Unless there has been a change of heart!

    Which book next??

    GN3 has been already. GN8 is not being, just FOC downloads to update it.

    Old contactor

    Old DOL motor starter contactor, at the bottom are the overloads, they are the old oil filled type. As you can see no wires connected, it was left on the machine when the new Dc injection brake was fitted. Replacement contactors about 1/4 of the size of this...
