    Mft calibration prices

    I got my MFT and Checkbox done…keeps everyone happy and ticks the boxes. I drop them off the day before, collect following day, have a brew, see a few manufacturers. At one time you could get 1 done for free for every £X you spent on the day

    Extractor fan install is noifiable, plus more!!

    Quote why are we only hearing about it now? Same reason we are only hearing about bidirectional RCDs now ( surely some overpaid wazzock at the IEt should have realised this years ago?). The more cynical would say it’s another revenue stream

    Chewing The Fat..... "Volt-Drop"...

    The Copper Development Association used to have an online calculator for cable losses. I used it a few times to calculate supply cable sizes for data centres. Not only did it calculate sizes it also illustrated pay back time due to reduced loses if a larger size was used
