    JTL confused badly??!!

    What a mess that all sounds lol. Why they don't just keep things simple i'll never know. Why change the course names ... yes knew stuff comes out, things become obsolete ect... but just add them and remove them to the existing framework without the need for all this carp. We've all got the same...

    JTL confused badly??!!

    Im somewhat out of touch with the educational system these days (thank god to be fair) but that surely can't be right? I have no idea, but surely repeating what you've already done because they've changed the course name is complete bull ? That's not fair, i'd get in touch with c+g and find out...

    Floodlight query

    Are you sure you've replaced everything with 'new' ? saying that even new is dubious these days. Sounds like you've got faulty equipment. Follow it all the way to to the top. Test on the outgoing of the ballast, see what you have there.

    Floodlight query

    I Know you've checked the supply, but i'd be inclined to put it all back together and stick my test probe into the lamp holder when its in place at the top - see if you have 230 there - you could find you've got a broken neutral or something somewhere and thus not receiving 230v at output.

    Floodlight query

    Also i've seen street lights with sensors half way up the pole - the wire from the bottom isn't jointed out into a button sensor half way up is it ? Hence, working at bottom because you're bypassing it and then not working at the top because the sensor isn't covered?

    Floodlight query

    Have you got 230 at the bottom of the pole? When you're connecting both up at the bottom are you connecting into the incomer or outgoing of the street light furniture ? Could be the cartridge fuse at the bottom?

    additional RCD protection from old Wylex fuse oard

    Cheapest option would be to find said socket he's plugging his lawn mower into and replace the socket faceplate with an RCD socket. Why would you only take one leg off the circuit? presumably you'll be installing the RCD at or near the CU ?

    Inspection & testing

    Disconnect where possible. L/N (connected together) E IR and possibly depending on what equipment stepped down to 250v

    Code or no-code.

    Now you've misundestood haha - i issued the EICR. And i haven't coded it - he's gone into the garage to change a cracked socket out plate which i coded C1 - and because its clipped direct he's obviously seen it and tried to tell the client the cable needs upgrading because its not big enough...

    Last job of the day

    Why have you got 13miles of insulation stripped from the conductors? ... on a metal fitting aswell. I hope the earth is connected at the CU lol

    Code or no-code.

    Nope you haven't misunderstood - maybe should have posted this in the trainee section. Correct, apparently its a C2 though :mad2: Not sure who it was, whether said person was trying to get more work out of the client or its dave from across the road that doesn't have a clue.

    Code or no-code.

    A disagreement i've had yet again... There is a workshop ring main with 4 double sockets and a indicated switched FCU feeding a single socket - this socket is wired in 1.5mm where the rest of the ring is 2.5mm 32A. The spur from the FCU is roughly 1meter. Now i know the answer to this, but...

    Pricing

    I don't understand the need for the bullet point list when you've given us your estimated hours and the price of all materials ? £500 + 15% markup. 60hours x hourly rate (or day rate if you do one) I hope you mean EIC not EIR (EICR) ? Then stick on a fuel cost - £30/40?
