    What would you do about this one.

    Read the OP post again, he says the other end of the micc goes via Henley blocks to the CU. So it must be after the meter else it would be free vend. In one of the pics you can just about see tails blue brown on floor level my guess is the feed the top of the iso from the meter. Also the pic...

    What would you do about this one.

    It's after the meter and on the outgoing side of the isolator.

    What causes low IR readings?

    True and easier. If I installed or renewed cabling I would expect off scale readings.

    What causes low IR readings?

    You could test a length of cable which you can access end to end and take a reading just to see what reading you get. That's what I would do to satisfy me.

    1 year old immersion heater keeps tripping thermal cut out, any suggestions?

    Mmm the resistance of the element seems about right, may do an IR test on the element down to to the copper cylinder.

    What causes low IR readings?

    The results should be off scale new cable.when you say fused spur did you isolate them turn them off. You could be testing with loads still on.

    Has the world gone crazy, tool prices

    Done a car boot last weekend with blondie my other arf , sorted a few bits out had an old 100m drum of three core&earth 1mm, old colours about 70mts on it only wanted £25 .few people asked when I told them the price the look on their faces. Cheap if you ask me looking at flea bay prices.

    What would you do about this one.

    I would run a new distribution circuit in SWA, if its too tight to add switch fuse then replace the isolator for one.

    Distance between meter and cut out

    In the Avent of fire, if the meter is burning, smoldering let's say due to tampering the cutout fuse can easily and quickly be pulled. Isolation basically. If the meters 20 meters away no point of isolation.

    Distance between meter and cut out

    The meter should be fitted within the area of the cutout for safety reasons.

    Will The Terminologies Start Changing?

    Talking about terminologies in the electrical industry it has changed quite a bit, CPC for earth conductor, distribution circuit for sub main, socket for coupler, RFC for ring main, that's just off the top of me head. However it's still jargon and any experienced sparkie will understand.

    The end of NVQ3

    IMO is should go back to the C&G 236 days all done on practical assignments and coursework and written obviously, if a fail in any of these it was no pass. I done NVQ for my gas portfolio etc it was easier.

    UK Gas Bonding Certification
