    The difference in using authorised/unauthorised PAT calibrating companies....

    Bit like going to a main dealer for you car, they aught to know everything about your piece of kit, whereas an unauthorised will know a general bit of all testers. Having said that, there really aren't many moving parts or things to wear out are there in a meter so calibration , in my...

    Csa

    Aha :D ...........it just goes to show how true it is that mistakes are normally made in exams where people assume there is more to the question than there really is. 6mm & 4mm are recognisable cable sizes and i'm sure if they were to ask for something different they would make it really...

    part P in garage/workshop

    I've always thought that 'Outdoor' referred to outside the main property, which seems to be what Elecsa are saying too as they say attached garage= not notifiable but remote garage is notifiable. Some people seem to be assuming that outdoor means out in the open/ garden and doesn't include sheds...

    I did look at the weblink you posted and it is for getting the wire csa from the diameter .............. Where does it calculate two csa's added together. Do you really not understand that you just simply add csa together. Can you explain why you are adding the radiuses together? It doesn't...

    Csa

    you are adding the cables together not adding the two radiuses together to make a bigger single cable though are you! think about it. You cant gain cross sectional area it would be like adding one football pitch to another football pitch and then saying that it was twice as wide and twice as...

    Csa

    surely its just add them together if you are looking for equivalent CSA. If you had add one square mile plus two square miles you would get three square miles whichever way you look at it. On a completely other topic, you could answer that you aren't supposed to install parallel feeders of...

    Ditto. If you get the opportunity to try each one, you'll know when you've got the one for you. Even if you have to offer to work for nowt, it'll be worth knowing otherwise you'll end up wondering whether the grass is greener later down the line when its harder to change. We do a bit of each...
