    How to go about checking this PCB

    Checking Crabtree MCB compatibility

    I'm working off a photo and haven't been there yet - I think these are Crabtree Polestar breakers in this old 3 phase board? Do the slightly newer design fit that CEF peddle fit? thanks.

    Checking Calibration of factory incomer electricity meter

    I've been asked to confirm that our site electricity meter is accurate! Easy on a small site, but 6 cable feed,and a few thousand amps, leaves me short on ideas.

    Have 18th ed and page 505 does say an unfused spur should feed one twin socket outlet. However if a 13amp fused spur is then connected to this and then to another socket is this not permissible? I can't see any potential for cable overloading? Thanks
