[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 112344, member: 2683"] I always test each circuit before connection to a new CU. Then I issue an EIC for the cu change with all the readings in the certificate. I find this way I am sure each circuit is ok for connection and that my job has been done fully. It does take time, I can do a 10 or 12 way domestic CU change with all testing done in a day, and I thought I could do a 32 circuit 3ph in a day but I was wrong :_| It did take me 2 days for that one but all tests where carried out fully. The only advise I can give you is to allow extra time for changes and testing, that way you dont end up rushing the testing and get frustrated. I lost money on the 3ph board change because I thought I was clever and could do it in a day, but I know for next time :) [/QUOTE]
