If a customer asks me to do a few jobs. E.g. Add some spots, add a socket and put a fan in a bathroom. As the only job notifiable to the labc would be the fan as its in a special location. Would you MW all jobs separately or all as one EIC and then let the building control deal with what's what?
Anyone else come across this before on a domestic property ?

Just carried out a ze on a tt istallation and got a reading of 156 m ohms, carried the same test out a few months before and got 132 m ohms, the zs results were slightly higher as well! Could this be due to the changing conditions of the weather as to we're the earth rod is placed.
Thanks chris
Hi Guys,
I've just swapped over to a Fluke 1654B MFT and I have a question about measuring the Re using the loop test function.
Anyway, on the full caffeine loop test there is a little button where you can toggle the lower display to swap between PEFC measurement and the Re element of the Ze...

Studying the Electricians and On Site Guide tables (for my Domestic Electricians course with OLCI) and the cable sizes all have double entries in the tables 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3. That is the Cable csa for different circuits show 2.5/1.5, 6/2.5 etc.
I understand the need for different csa for...

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?

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...
