    My big break

    The boss has finally let Me loose on my own. :-) refurb of a three bed detached house. He wants to see how I get on and he's only going to do something if I ask him for help :-) It's weird to think that 3 years ago I wasn't sure on the colours to wire a plug!!! Haha

    Emergency Switching

    We are currently looking a Switching in our 2330 L3, can someone please advise me as to whether an Emergency Switch is an on or off load switch? As it is a normally closed contact and carries current I thought it was an on load switch because it is required to cut off the full load current, but...

    Cable break location

    Breaks in cables often occur. Has anybody any good ideas how to locate the break point? eg we have an office block in which the cpc is broken. Apart from the obvious ( looking at the fittings), how can we best locate the fault? Is there any method of measuring the length of wire that is intact?
