    TNS to TT for better or worse

    Hi all A recent board change on TNS, found the Ze at 1.35ohm:( So made into TT but only getting 210ohm thru rod. Board is all RCD so would it not be a better installation if we were allowed to use the TNS + the RCDs After all we have the magic number of 1667ohm cheers

    sole trader or limited company?

    which one is better? sole trader probably is more flexible and only myself do the job, however once something goes wrong my property might be at risk, so is it a better idea to have a limited company?

    what do you reckon? Megger or metrel?

    A megger mft1552 or a Metrel MI3100 Eurotest Easi 17th Edition Tester? The metrel is £75ish cheaper - is the megger still a better buy - any opinions welcome as i have no real experience of either. Thanks

    Megger MFT Crocs

    Hombres, Anyone else have trouble with the lead crocs on the Megger MFT? They give me wildly varying readings depending on how they're connected, size of cable, single core/multi-strand, standing on one leg or two, time of month, etc. Anyone have any recommendations for a better replacement set?

    Bset College/training school

    Hi again Chaps.... So, given the number of training centres, and the hugely various prices they charge for courses, is there one which in your opinion offers both quality training and value for money. I'm looking at 17th Edition and an EAL course for a start. I don't mind paying extra for a...
