I rely on the following to prove my electrical connections:

  • Having a Torque Screwdriver for show and occasionally use it as the fancy takes me

    Votes: 0 0.0%
  • I am a 17 Day or electrical trainee, what is an R1 + Rn test anyway?

    Votes: 0 0.0%

Couldn't answer the poll because I do the Mark 1 right wrist thing,then I wiggle and jiggle,thats followed by a supplementary self torquing third twist with that Mark wrist thing again

You are allowed to select more than one option ... I believe, at least that is how I set it up! How did you get to see the voting ... I can't!

only let me do one option!
to see who has voted just left click on any of the scores at the right hand side and all is revealed (did say a public vote)

tried that. takes me to photobucket asnd a load of spam.
 
A good few years ago I read a post on here from a wise old spark who said that, as the last person in the consumer unit, it's you responsibility to make sure EVERY connection is left secure. Since then that's what I've done, admittedly using the self-calibrating wrist method.
 
One of the options should be:

"when you have to open a CU do you check all the connections for tightness?"

Thanks for keeping that wisdom alive ...

M, I just wanted your confirmation that this is what you do ... I did not doubt it for 1 ns!

I have nothing against the self-calibrated wrist of a time-served spark, or a the 17 Day or Electrical Trainee who competently discharges their responsibilities in a professional manner! I have no time for anyone who does not act in a professional manner.
 
If I'm measuring a Zs, I'll usually do the Z(line) at the same time; it's an easy check that there's a decent neutral connection. It's just another button to push on the MFT if you've got three test leads connected already.

(BTW, what's the proper symbol for line impedance?)
