    Inspection - too harsh??

    I attended an inspection of an office and workshop last week. There were quite a few issues, but I was intrigued by the issues depcited in the photos. They had 4, 3phase machines (saw, drill, grinder, plane) which were wired into only 2 isolators (and 2 circuit breakers). they did have...

    JIB gradings changed again - but before you get too excited, pay is not changed.

    Right as you probably know all the JIB titles have changed, again. Part of me likes the masses of definitions, but my question relates to what do they mean? One in particular. Provisional electrician. Can a provisional spark work on site unsupervised, or does he need to be watched like a...

    (Please be gentle, its only my second install) I've just installed 10 RECs with an SB2500HF and i'm trying to commission for handover.

    Too much information can be dangerous!

    Had a bit of a scrap on site yesterday with the site foreman after the plumber decided to go drilling underfloor heating pipes about 20mm away from my main rise of CU cables - and there's a lot of them! I wanted to, and can (still) see no good reason not to, move the plumbing feed over one...

    Am I just too sensitive? FYI, long post to follow.

    So a few weeks back I get called out to a guy who's RCD won't set. He's just returned from holiday to find this so not much idea from him when the initial fault occured. To be honest, I was expecting to turn up and find that he needs a new kettle as this is in my experience almost always the...

    Probably "Too Little Too Late" but everybody should write to their MP.

    Following advice elsewhere on this forum I just sent this email to my MP. Dear Conor Burns, Over the past two years I have built a two man electrical contracting business into a eleven person team by adding PV and other renewables to our installation fields. We sell ethically and have over...

    Solutions to Zs too high

    Hi, Hi all, I am doing the 2391 course at the moment and I'd like to know the best solutions to a high Zs value of a circuit which does not meet BS7671 requirements. This high reading doesn't come from any damage or loose connection but due to a design mistake. The circuit is protected by a...
