not now but the firm I used to work for as a maintenace electrician insisted as it was "live working" it was a two man job. Believe me it never happened. I have worn rubbers when testing the Ze on the live incoming busbars to ACB's

Nope...

Another no.

From what i understand is that you dont need PPE for testing in a domestic situation, as the test leads and probes should be to GS38?
