    EEBADS (the actual insulation of such safety measure)

    I know we bond pipe work with earth clamps and 4.0mm earth cable. But does anyone know why some people coil up the earth conductor, making it look like a spring? Instead of just putting a small length from A to B without making it go round and round an imaginary loo roll?

    Fluke T5 1000

    Can the Fluke T5 1000 measure DC current via the jaws? I know it'll measure AC but I'm looking at different sites via my phone and can't ascertain whether it does DC. Also, what do you think of it if you have one?

    What do you use to measure the csa of cables?

    Calipers? One of those cards with holes in? Or something else? I know in the end I'll get to tell what is what by sight and feel but need something to help me in the meantime, especially with larger live conductors and earth bonding etc
