    Is it acceptable to lim on eic for supply characteristics? I had a job in a hospital today and I couldnt gain access to the Switch room and the engineer couldn't give me the information I was looking for. My understanding is, as long as bonding is in place and verified, I can put this as a...

    IR Testing & EIC

    In my line of work it's very rare that I ever have to change a DB. I'm largely in maintenance; occasionally have to add new circuits etc. so in respect to Testing this is all fairly straightforward to me. I was thinking about DB changes earlier and started to stumble when it came to IR Testing...
