    Domestic Electric Test Checklist

    Yes, I know that EICR are basically one of many things I'm looking for. But I'm just trying to compile a further checklist. I'm not looking where to find checks because, as you may see, I've already compiled most of the top classic checks in the list. For example, in the periodic checklist EICR...

    Domestic Electric Test Checklist

    For example, a friend, family, or some type of relative, calls me to do some thorough domestic testing. Not for something I have installed, but something that someone unknown has already installed.

    Domestic Electric Test Checklist

    Most of the elements in the list I've written come from there. But I'm willing to hear new ideas

    Power sensor before or after the surge protection?

    You had the image half-done before I wrote the last message :ROFLMAO: It was worth posting.

    Domestic Electric Test Checklist

    If you had to test a whole installation that someone else have done, do you have a checklist of elements you shall be doing to see if everything is in the right place? I'm like to write it down. Some elements I've been thinking on, I would like if you could write 1 or 2 I've missed, I will be...

    Power sensor before or after the surge protection?

    It was installed by the solar panel technician to control whether there was power or not coming from the grid, it will stop the inverter introducing power into the circuits. It's very simple in this sense, doesn't need to calculate anything complex is just used as an almost, binary sensor...

    Power sensor before or after the surge protection?

    I have a main MCB with SPD all-in-one. I also have a power sensor for the solar inverter to pick the information from the main service entrance. Currently, I have the power sensor just in the first place before anything else, just in the main service entrance. But since I have the SPD-MCB I...

    Substitution of a Main Circuit Breaker with a surge protection combo

    My distribution panel is 100% full except 1 spot and I have one Main Circuit Breaker, but one guy told me that it was a good idea to introduce a surge protection in the panel for the whole office, in fact, at least in my country, it has been introduced in the electricity laws somewhat recently...

    Doubts about Socket testing

    Theoretically, the force the short circuit to trigger the RCDs, and AFAIK, short circuits are not great for the circuit's health.

    Doubts about Socket testing

    Yes, I know they just one component within the whole kit. But my question is more directed about the usage of them and the fact that they stress the circuits with their RCD testers from every single socket.

    Doubts about Socket testing

    I wondered if socket testers like Fluke ST120 stress too much, the circuits, specially when hitting the RCD button tester. After all, it sends a forced shock to the RCD and could end up burning it? If I have, for example, an installation with 80 sockets, with around 10 sockets per RCD I will be...

    After enormous frustration, I started the path

    I built my house & office short time ago (I have everything integrated) I noticed that the electricity professional that did the work, had enough experience, but did things, from my perspective, without that interest that one should put, regardless the fact that the payment for the job was good...
