    EICR for a static caravan.

    TNS, Ze 4.35. Hmmmm. If in doubt don't. Measure it twice, cut it once. If in doubt, do it again. 0.68 that's better. Bad connection, my fault. But who else not in the know would have questioned it.

    Replacing main isolator with RCD across whole board

    I'm doing pir's at the moment and often come across CU's with MCB's but no RCD protection. I'm wondering what views people have on removing the main isolators and fitting RCD's in their place to protect all circuits. I understand the inconvenience implications but is it ok to simply replace?
