Meter Tails

[Darius-parky]

Darius ,im not on a suicide mission, i would put them in the box before i put it on the wall ! and not connect the earth!, so why would i need a fuse? i always tape the ends up and try not to touch them together i do carry a spare ,anyway ,just because i do,but not for that reason

I always use 25mm tails ,have done for years ,im sure the infos in the regs book someware ,but i thought 25mm was the norm nowadays,unless its over 100A

As for getting fined ,i think ,say think ,they have to prove you did it to obtain electricity dishonestly,i also think they are able to claim the amount they would charge if you did notify them ,and also the cost of the precedings against you

its a nightmare,for people like me ,who only do cash jobs and dont bother with paper work ,labc or test certs, all it achives is money for them ,sod that ill stick to my way ,getting the job done is more important than all that rubbish

Some body from WPD told me (I have not checked it yet) that within 1metre length of your meter you can use 16mm.

But thanks for all that anyway

Yeah,
The agency i mostly work for only uses JIB sparks and theres always someone happy to do the testing stuff,the only time i do anything which i myself need to test is if i do a cash job for someone. i know a young guy whos doing his stuff now, so i might pass on all my extras to him and give him a hand from time to time,he can have the burecratic hastle ,ill just get him the work.

As for being compitent ,i might have trouble proving it in court,because i didnt finish the 16 edition course, so i need to be carefull,

Yes Rum, but remember, if you were in court, you would not be proving competence against any edition of the regs, but against the EAWR's, and you would have to break them for that to happen

Just because you dont hold a regs qual, doesnt mean you are not competent or unsafe
