    2391 52 photo section of exam.

    Could anyone point me to somewhere online I can go through some fault coding photo examples for 2391 52? I've passed everything else, just have to go back and do my photo resit on Wednesday afternoon. The photos seem very subjective and not that clear. I had a 54 year old brain fart last time...

    Wish i'd taken a photo........

    Found a right stonker in an attic today. Was there on a different job, but when I brought this up with the customer, I think he'll want it sorted.

    Question about earth wire - photo attached

    An electrician noticed that the clamp on the earth wire in my house wasn't right while he was fixing an unrelated fault. He called the power company because they have a legal duty to fix it.
