hi a very nice job but i may have spotted a problem.... how are you going to perform the Ze test on that install? best wishes....

yes, quite correct.... if you are a "non-electrician" you have to sign an EIC for "design" and must use the maximum cable lengths given at around p40 of the OSG. these lengths are given to enable the "less than competent" to be, in the niceic's eyes "competent"

hi the reg basically says we can sometimes fit a con-unit with a single pole isolator so long as it is not a TT fed supply in ireland you cannot fit a dp isolator under any circumstances, it must be sp irrespective of supply, i just dont get it :oops:

hi all chapter 46 tells me i can, in certain cases, have a single pole isolator except where the supply is TT and the neutral cannot be reliably assumed to be at earth potential. i dont get the IEE's angle on this and would welcome an explanation from forum members ps hats off to...

hi had similar today, it was a plugged in trailing "surge divertor" multi socket thingy that was doing it... unplugged it and got 4M ohms to earth. could it be this?

hi sometimes if you get a bad reading you have to ram the plug in and out quick a couple of times, and flick the switch on and off a couple of times to improve the reading. it may be due to dirt/ oxidisation on the plug/socket connection and switch contacts. crude but effective as the tester...

hi we fit a merlin 80A dp breaker in a small metal enclosure the 80A unit is 3 standard modules in size, not two, so our enclosures have "half a blank" fitted each side-if you know what i mean! don't know the catalogue numbers, but this may lead you to it :D
