    Is This a Record?

    I did a survey of a larger detatched house today. A poor prospect due to shading from 20m high trees and surrounding houses. Also has lack of suitable roof space. Real shocker was current electricity consumption. 12,000kWh/a!!!!!!! I would have considered 6000 on the high side. They have a...

    down sizing long lighting circuit

    I'm testing a car park lighting circuit at 200m long. 4mm singles to first point at about 100m and then reduces down to 2.5mm. Trunking used as additional CPC to reduce Zs values. How would you record that on a test sheet? And is there a regulation about downsizing?

    Global Insulation resistance testing

    I was doing a fuse board update the other day and normally I use duel RCD boards with mcb s but instead I used separate Rcbos due to the customer specifying these. I prefer fitting Rcbos due to just that one circuit is disrupted when there is a fault. when quoting for the job I carry out a...
