    Change Power Tools

    I’m in two minds whether to change my current 18v Dewalt SDS/Combi/Impact. I currently work in the Fire and Security industry. Mainly doing Alarms and CCTV. I rarely use the Impact, the Combi is okay when it works and the SDS is good. But I’ve found that when I need to put up say a PIR and the...

    EICR Change of occupancy

    I’m debating on a landlords forum on the use of “change of occupancy” on an EICR. A large number of landlords feel this is to much, and it should be 5 years only, they are asking their electricians not to put this, and in the main their electricians are doing as they ask. My reading of GN3...

    CU Change Testing

    Hi all. Did an EICR today on a rented property that had a CU change about 8 years ago. Found a few things wrong, the main issue really is that a few sockets are fed in 1.5 from the ring and a couple of wall lights are fed of the ring as well in 1.5. Just wondering how much testing you guys do...

    Its only ten minutes, burn out socket to change.

    As title, call out to change a burnt out socket. The why? was over use of fan heaters. Quick Zs gave 1.26, something amiss. Did an Auto RCD test to locate source of circuit in this well labelled and populated board. Found RCD to be a stand alone 61009 Now it starts to get interesting...
