    Using Dilog DL6507 earth leakage clamp meter.

    Evening all, I've just brought a Dilog DL6507 Earth leakage clamp meter. Got to get used to using it, but does anyone know what the on/off switch on the side does, as it does not do as you would think. Cheers.

    Your method of handling non paying customers?

    Yep, they take a percentage. Depends on who you deal with as to what percentage. Generally not worth it for small amount of money, but the threat is usually enough.

    Magic switch

    As far as I could see from the pictures he showed me yep a normal switch. The earth bar was connected to the neutral at main switch, then only a 2.5 mm cable was going to switch with main neutral also going to switch. Didn't get to see it first hand. Don't know how it didn't blow.

    Magic switch

    Has anyone else come across what the police called a magic switch. A friend who rented out his flat found one when he evicted tenant who was growing special plants. I won't say how they done it, but they bypassed the meter and put in a normal light switch in between meter and cu so could choose...

    Lighting spur off a ring

    This is just a 'not sure' why question. when spurring off a ring circuit for a small light circuit, why does it have to be fused down to 3 or 5 amp. Why can't you use 2.5mm cable instead as the mcb is protecting the cable. Is it because most switches are only designed for the lower ampage...

    Armoured cable into building below ground - how should hole have been ducted / sealed

    Is the hole under dpc, is there void under floor, unless it's gone through dpc layer damp shouldn't be rising into the wall. How far away is hole from damp area. Think more likely condensation problem, it generally happens in corners.
