A Megger VF2 AC Voltage detector/pen!!! Nice prize and very useful to any electrician at any level of their development.


Question:- As per the Health & Safety Executive document GS38, 4 items are needed to carry out safe isolation procedure to enable you to work on a circuit. Please name all 4 pieces of equipment.

(The first two answers have two correct answers each, any of the two will do)

I am guessing it is not a pair of insulated snips, a death wish, a disregard for health and safety and a lot of luck:38:

Saw a bloke a while back in an indian restaurant using a bit of flex with a lampholder. I asked him about it and he was adamant that it was no different from a voltage tester.
NB trainees, the above will not win you the prize!

Mike and Glenn, thanks for the offers, think we could have 2 or 3 prizes for this question??? Up to you guys, lets have a chat in the Pub if you want to? I'm going for a cup of tea through the week with a friend that just happens to own a wholesalers! Wonder what I can squeeze out of him? This could become a regular thing?
