    India advice - entering the country with tools, test meters etc and customs officials

    Yes should be interesting ! The only good foreigners I've worked alongside were Spanish and German electricians and also a Chinese crew who didn't speak a word of English but were all good blokes and did a good job,especially considering they were instructed by lots of pointing and hand...

    SY, CY None Compliant????

    It does say to refer to other IEC or countries standards, So if it is constructed to VDE and this conforms to IEC standards doesn't this mean it can be used? I remember reading in the regs book a while ago, ( don't have it with me, ) At the beginning somewhere it says reference should...

    Safe Isolation

    Yes fair enough you've got me there, it could be done, but I suspect the unit would be a bit bigger than it is, and wouldn't allow too many tests ! But the point was that it's not a self proving device in the sense that it produces voltages in its test range Sent from my GT-I9195 using...

    Safe Isolation

    Yes all its doing is checking the internal circuits and less I've had a steinel 1146 since I started and a few people have looked at them and wrongly assumed that they can self prove..... I just asked them how they thought it could produce 400 AC/DC from two 1.5v DC batteries! Nobody's...

    Ferrule clamping

    Each to their own, some prefer ratchet I like the pliers type for the reasons in my first post Plus they're more compact which is important as we fly to site periodically, also the size range is larger I do have a ratchet ferrule crimper it stays in the van mostly, nothing wrong with it...

    Ferrule clamping

    I've a pair of those knipex and I don't use them for ferrules, I've tried them and they do work however, it isn't too difficult to pull the ferrules off so I'd say ok in a pinch but I certainly wouldn't use them if I've got the proper ones on me Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Ferrule clamping

    They work on the principle that when you've closed them fully that's it, they're crimped! If you don't crimp them enough they can be easily pulled off I like these as they're simplistic reliable and also I've never had anyone pull the ferrule off which can be an issue with the square...

    Ferrule clamping

    Had to do some 50 mm ferrules last week which was a first for me I don't have a crimping tool for 50mm ferrules ! So I used a Cimco hexagonal crimper (meant for lugs) which on 50 mm didn't really touch them and then I realised that of course the tube was much thinner than a copper tube...
