    USA voltage

    Hi everyone, I'm off to Florida next week & need to check if things will work when plugged in. I know the voltage is different but I'm assuming things will still work or you couldn't get an adaptor? Any info you've got would be really helpful. Thanks Ian

    Lighting Circuit Zs

    I must be confused about some wording, Light circuit R1+R2 is 1.84 Ze measured = 0.28 So if I do Ze +(R1+R2) I get 2.06 Maximum Zs allowed is 6.14 actual measured Zs is 0.88 This measured Zs is much lower than the max value, I know higher is not good but lower Zs leads to any problems ??

    Testing Tips

    Anyone got any useful tips and advice to make the whole testing procedure faster? Was having a think and trying to come up with some earlier and all I could think of was possibly using a plug with a flex with connector block on the end to test R1+R2 on sockets? Would that be allowed? Thanks.

    You're all cowboys! :D

    So a customer phones up and wants a socket adding. For arguments sake it is to be surface mounted about a meter from an existing socket and cable is to be run in trunking. A quick and easy job for most :) When you arrive, you find that the CU is an old rewireable, there's no RCD protection...
