Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.

What were the readings when you first installed it?
You can measure between phase and neutral (remembering phase and neutral are both live conductors)
ah yes of course....
Live-Live can = live to neutral or live to line or line to line or phase to neutral or phase to line or phase to live.....
I'm glad we've cleared that up
ban-all-sheds don't you think its hard for a sparky with 10 years experience to find work these days never mind loads of people like me who are newly qualified to get the experience??
we all dont know everthing and we are all still learning.

Did you do the install?
Well done you. Maybe we should get the regs changed as there is obviously little point in testing. When you did the 2330, weren't you taught how to test and interpret readings. You test before commision and the dead tests are there to prevent you becoming dead yourself. If you have not tested, how do you know the readings were okay 6 months ago. You've only done the bang test.
If these are new circuits or the shed is not attached to house, it's notifiable. How did you get BC to approve an installation on the promise to test it 6 months down the line. I assume the 2330 lecturer mentioned Part-P.
This forum is often critical of the 5 day wonders, but this is scary from somebody with 2330.
But you have passed either the 2382, or the equivalent module in 2330.

You own a copy of the Wiring Regulations and you've persuaded the authorities that you know your way around it.
You really should have been able to find the answer to your question in the book you own and which you know how to read....
Scousespark I agree i was wrong in not testing it when i 1st installed it and BC haven't passed the work i have done on this house yet but that is why i have bought a tester so i can test it and get all the work i have done passed off.
