    UK Water leak, do we need a "dryness check" before re-testing the electrics?

    Is it ok to do insulation resistance test on RCBO at 500v?

    I know you are not supposed to do a insulation test on circuits that are protected by an RCD at 500v because it may damage the electronic components inside the RCD so that's why you switch the RCD off before you test the individual circuits, however, what if the circuits are all protected by...

    Wandering lead for domestic testing

    Would you recommend buying a ready-made reel such as the ETL30 or should I get some green-sleeved single? If so, what csa should it be, can you buy a 30m reel of single, or is 50m a better length? And would the single come on a suitable/usable reel?
