    This machine blew my clamp meter up.

    Hi All I was called to a printing company to look at a 3phase seam welding machine as users were reporting getting shocks from it. I has a 4mm earth bond to the movable seam section, but no bond on the main table. So I decided to take a 10mm bond from the connection box on the wall and...

    twin and earth used outside

    I agree with the above and am against using it outside, but there is no legal reason it seems to not do it if you take into account the environmental factors and make allowances for them. And you take into account its likelihood to be impacted by anything, especially ladders when used at height...

    twin and earth used outside

    Did anyone see Cowboy Builder last night? There was a piece where they entrapped a builder into doing notifiable work (putting up an outside light - PIR Controlled) watching him with hidden camaras. Then the only thing they could say was illegal about it was :- - he did not have part p reg -...

    twin and earth used outside

    Have you a document to back this up? I would like to see it in black and white now that my attention has been drawn to consider this properly. I always agreed with your assertion, but that is no longer enough for me I want documents. I want to be sure one way or the other. Martin

    twin and earth used outside

    Possibly correct, but not beyond reasonable doubt. I think it should rely on more than an assumption. You can get a marine version of T+E. I wonder why they bother making that when according to some the plain communal garden stuff will do the job just as well. :C I would not be happy to be...

    twin and earth used outside

    If fact the (16th Ed) OSG in appendix 3 says T&E is generally suitable "on exterior surface walls, boundary walls and the like"with just a comment that protection from sunlight may be necessary. Personally I would NEVER use it. I would come out into a extrior JB and back fill the hole with...

    Tough One To Price

    Hi Yes I keep a job card and log my hours and materials to each job as it is. The main problem I have is taking the time to revisits the job cards and do the analyse stuff you are alluding to. You make it sound simple points divided by time or the other way round more like. However when I look...

    Tough One To Price

    Tough One To Price

    Hi Voltimax I have just done a quote using it and using the formula of 1 hour per point and and 20 hours per c/u and the quote came out at 30K for 5 cottages. Normally I would guess say 3K per cottage = 15k. I tried the example using 25 per hour. This is just the labour price. Do you think...

    Tough One To Price

    Will you give the whole sheet a once over at the same time. I found on mine that some of the fields did not autofill. Maybe it is my excel set up. But if you could confirm it is fully working, I won't be chasing shadows. It looks great though. Thanks Martin
