I understand the need for different csa for...
Hello, I'm a dutch electrician and I want to buy a Megger Installation Tester. I working in the Solar environment and find out that the Megger 1835 (incl RCD B) is good for me. Now I learned that there is also a Megger 1730 and this one looks the same. The 1730 is for the UK and the 1835 is non...
Just wondered how it is possible to register and installation with a variety of panels? For example, with solar edge / micro inverters you can have multiple panels. On my install I have Hyundai and Suntech on different strings but MCS only asks for a single panel type. So how would you do this?
Has anyone out there ever had any problems on their annual assessments, from having used mixed makes of CU and breakers when doing CU upgrades?
I know this has been heavily debated and the general sensible consensus is that it should not make the blindest bit off difference, but strictly...
Hi Guys,

I need to joint a 2.5/3 SWA to a 1.5mm HO7 then bury it. Don't need to worry about glanding the armour as it's good the other end (I suppose I could bond it to the cpc if we're being picky).
A 'proper' expensive IPX7+ box is a bit OTT for the job, and a SWA joint kit might not like the twiddly...
Have noticed now by doing lots of jobbing that there are 3 types of customers.
One type is really concious and wants the best equipment and peace of mind for safety, the flip side to these customers is that they are really fussy and look over you when you are doing the job and ask so many...

Good afternoon,
We have been asked to install 10 panels on a bike shed in the grounds of a new eco friendly office block. We have only done two domestic systems before and are still newbies. I am unsure about whether the SAP calcs are the same for commercial and is it a G59 even though its only...

Conventional PV thoery dictates this is a no-no but i...
There is a section in the PIR Section F, that states" I/We recommend that the installation (Domestic) is further inspected and tested by ...............(Date)" What date to we put for Domestic? Is it 6 months? from the initial PIR. I don't have the date of last inspection.
Also does any one...
Just wondering , being new to pricing domestic work what prices people charge for generic things. I know each jobs is different & its own but some things i guess don't change much job to job! Understand if no one wants to give away their trade expertise but thought id ask!
