Poor isn't it...
Dangerous would be the word i'd use!
The thing is, we all probably make occasional mistakes at work, and realise. He's filmed it, edited and uploaded to YouTube and not realised.
That's because he's incompetent. It's embarrassing for NIC that he's an approved contractor.

I have worked with Approved contractors Way Way worse than Del , in fact they make Del look like a Pro
 
I don't get it, if you disconnect the earth to get a true Ze the you test on the incoming earth cable, not the dis board where he clipped his crock clip.

also do those newer meggers do P-P IPF nowadays, I was waiting for the bang. Day one of the 2391 course and our tutor said never ever test phase to phase whilst doing IPF with a single phase tester if you still want eyebrows. I've always doubled the highest single phase reading.

I didn't look at the video, i just replied to the “why would anyone disconnect the main earth”.

Its Dels attempt to do PSCC.
He's not interested in PEFC.

I looked at the vid a few times, the main TP switch was in off position thats good should of locked it off, now this is the confusing bit Del disconnected the main earth (to the DB) lead away from the MET block because multiple bonds on the block, but still had his clips on it in the DB with all earths still connected picking up other paths. IMO this was not a true Ze. He should of taken the main earth lead out of the MET block coming from the cutout and put his clip on that.

As far as I know all of the megger, and most other name brand, testers have done loop tests at 415V for a long time.

I've certainly always tested phase to phase with both my megger MFT and megger high resolution loop tester.

If anyone is manufacturing a tester which would fail catastrophically if connected phase to phase then it is not fit to be on the market. Even if it can't test at that voltage it should be able to handle being connected to it and at worst be able to safely contain any failure which occurs due to it.
