N Test results.

[Bobble23]

Hi,

I'm doing a CU change in a couple of weeks and the customer (a retired engineer) has asked if I will be supplying "N Test results for main circuits
supplying this consumer unit."

Does anyone know what he means by this?

Thanks.

Well I'm a Scouser and he's a Southerner so I wouldn't rule out language problems somewhere!

Tell him you can't do N's but you will happily supply F's and U's

Language mishap lol

like `pick n mix` testing.....like anything that takes your fancy...
`oh, i think i`l get a Zs today..as i cant be arsed isolating the supply...hmm...sounds nice`....


and as far as loop is concerned....a Ze would be prudent here as well before work commences....just in case...

"I'm sorry Mr Customer but that's not a term I'm familiar with, if you explain what you mean I can then tell you what the powers that be changed it to. For example it's no longer live and neutral or phases it's line"......Problem solved without you looking like you don't know what you're doing.
