    2391 Refresher every 2 years ???

    I’ve probably broken every rule in the book with this. Was asked if I could do a cable joint between a 6mm T+E and a 2c 6mm SWA. It had to be as unobtrusive as possible as I was on a front wall of a graded building. The T+E ran for 6” below the rendering corbel so the joint would be on the...

    R1+R2 and Zs - Don't know where the light circuit ends!

    If you genuinely can't tell where a lighting circuit ends (due to the way in which it has been wired) I presume you would test for R1+R2 and Zs at every point and then record the highest reading?
