    Electrical Commissioning

    Unfortunately commissioning comes with experience. I have done both pre commissioning and commissioning. Oil game is pretty much knackered at the minute with the low and fluctuating oil prices. Back in the day commissioning guys were on 800 a day plus. A must for any commissioning tech is being...

    Lol, when the company buys them no skin of my nose ;) Unfortunately that crimp is non Atex certified being battery powered and useless where I work! Trusty Knipex hasn't let me down yet!! Though must admit it would be handy when connecting panels in the switch room!

    ECS Gold card reverse

    Compex Training Advice Available

    Yes, as this will likely be indirect entry. Eg Ex d housing and Ex e terminals. As long as the equipment has IIC on the certificate plate then it can be used in the area.

    Compex Training Advice Available

    I have never came across a light fitting that is Ex e increased safety tbh. You need to confirm the gas group for the fitting. If it was a Ex de IIC isolator, then yes this could be used in a IIC area. However the isolator may not require a barrier gland as it is of hybrid protection. Typically...

    Compex Training Advice Available

    Whats the protection type for the fitting? Ex d, Ex de, Ex dem? If the fitting was direct entry Ex d in a IIC area then should have a barrier gland fitted. More info needed.

    Melted motor terminal post?

    And while you are there tie the stator down to earth as well :) Is it a DOL starter? Bit of a beast, a nice Soft Start should prolong life.
