    How long before chasing payment?

    Maybe I've just been lucky, but I very rarely have an issue with customers paying, the vast majority have paid straight away or within a few days. However I'm still waiting for payment for an emergency call out I attended in early December. Without going into all the details, I got a call at...

    UK RCD before a 230v/24 PSU?

    Hi all I have seen a schematic drawing for a control panel recently where they (whoever drafted the drawings, designed the panel) show a RCD before the 230v/24v dc PSU, and the PSU is the only device downstream of the RCD in my mind this has no merit. The 24v secondary d.c side of the PSU...

    Does a CU swap require a full initial verification on all circuits before it can be energised?

    To my understanding it would be ideal to test and inspect before energisation, but it isn't 100% necessary. If it leaves a client without power, it breaches health and safety (no power to safety services etc) or inconveniences them I'd have thought it would be reasonably practicable to turn on...

    What test should I carry out before changing a consumer unit to ensure that it is eligible for one? I’m guessing R1 + R2 to make sure it has cpc at circuits. Say for lighting do I check every single light fitting or...? IR test I’m assuming of course so there are no trips. I’m not a testing...
