    Tv - 75v exposed conductive parts

    mother inlaw says - I keep getting a shock of the back of the tv when I try and move it to turn the plug off. It’s a wall mounted tv in the kitchen. I thought initially it must be just static but told her I’d have a look. As it happens, every screw, or exposed conductive part on the tv is...

    Why TT on Temp Building Supply?

    Okay, I know you have to use TT on a temporary building supply but cannot understand why? If the supplier is able to supply a TNCS why is this not preferable to a TT?

    Testing gas pipework for extraneous conductive parts

    Just checking before I blow a hole in the wall that using an IR test at 500v is ok on bottled gas pipework. Seems like the sort of thing that in hindsight you'd wonder why you thought it was a good idea. Could disconnect the bottles, but that would seem to make the test pointless.
