    Help on testing , of mobile ent unit

    It sounds like this kit falls between PAT and fixed wiring, you'll need to decide which one it is nearest too and stick to it. You just need to provide a reasoning as to why you chose which one if something ever goes wrong. If they have many flexes and plugs then i'd go for PAT and if it end up...

    lighting circuits on PIR's

    The down side of them is the *****ing cost, especially the prewired. I cant see that they should be any more than a double socket in construction but are over twice the cost......... thieving ***** :D

    Lifting carpets

    Well done 'confused-fuse' well traced, those are the two types i've used, the slide hammer type is a bit weighty but works well if you have a lot to do, and the mini one is great as a tool-box special. I'm afraid I wouldn't want anyone lifting the oak boards in my house with a 'screw-driver or...

    lighting circuits on PIR's

    The R1R2 test is not there to proove polarity only to proove the earth is present and at a reasonably suitable value, hence having the option of doing an R2 test only. There is always the choice of R2 only test but this does involve a rather long earth lead which can be difficult in some...

    lighting circuits on PIR's

    you must remember that the test is designed to verify the R2 only, ie that the circuit is earthed to the end point and therefore safe to energise. When you test Zs you are verifying the earth fault path and how this will cause the protective device to react.

    lighting circuits on PIR's

    This reply will probably set a few fire works off but here goes ........:p If it's speed you are after, why dont you get an R1R2 reading from the neutral to earth as this isn't switched and therefore easy to get without linking etc.... ..... and before barrage of abuse arrives, 1/ if you are...

    Best cable for the job?

    Screentuf is actually smaller diameter than Hi-tuf so looks like pyro but without the need for glands etc. This looks good in black or white depending on wall colour and can be used with P-clips (as per pyro) thereby looking the nuts without the expense of pyro. I think we pay around 80p / M so...

    Lifting carpets

    and for getting floorboards up, treat yourself to a nail puller, i've had them for years (care of grandad originally) but they obviously went missing when other people saw how good they were, so I found a place in USA that sold a more modern version that works alongside your clawhammer and is...

    Commercial premises - most common earthing arrangement?

    Thats right, the only down side is that you aren't verifying the over-current protection of the supply or the size of earthing / bonding conductors, but as it was a call-out, that is all you caan do. You could comment that you would recommend a full inspection is carried out if one hasn't been...
