    2391-52 practical assessment - testing sequence

    I have not done the 2391 so i may be wrong but surely you can still do the Ze as the incoming teminals will still be live as you have only turned off the main isolator but the tails are teminated into that so you still can do Ze and pfc without asking to power up.
