Yes.Maybe breakers just fail after a certain amount of trips? Does that sound likely?
It's pretty good.Just one more question,not relevant but like to know, is the wiring in this board neat?
Wow! I wouldn't want to be in that building
So i can see what i'm doing and because i'm not daft enough to stick my hands on the busbar I appreciate your concern though but i was very careful.
Ahem!Reading through the thread only Adam ... has mentioned that you have a fault to investigate.
Sorry. missed the reference to a fault in your post. I still think the thread has focused on the fact the breaker is probably with little consideration of what he needs to do to check the cause. If I was called out to this, my first task would be to check the circuit and I WOULD NOT DO THIS WITH A LIVE BUSBAR. If it was my house, I'd have takeaway until I had a day off to check.Ahem!
Oh here we go, there is nothing wrong with working live as long you use your common sense, why do you think insulated tools exist? It all comes down to risk assessment i could see there was very little risk of me getting hurt at the time so had no reason to turn off the main switch.Your reply is quite frightening, as wanting to keep your lights on while you work is not a justification for working live. Why could you not wait until daylight and check it then.
I would recommend you can search for 'Safe Isolation' in this forum or wider to read up on what you should do. Touching a live busbar (intentionally or by accident) is potentially fatal. Breakers can fail, but you need the circuits testing. It is never safe to act on an assumption, when working with electricity.
Reading through the thread only Adam (who is a trading electrician) has mentioned that you have a fault to investigate. Given you later post that you have had similar with another circuit, I suggest you get a qualified electrician to carry out an EICR.
So in this thread a posts that safe isolation is only practiced in the classroom and in the real world the ”safety protocol” is to leave things live and be careful doesn’t warrant a comment, but a word set by predictive text on an iPad does. I do see the smiley and am not wound up by your post, but I am curious as to whether you would condone working live in this instance."trading courses" - are they related to Brexit?
