Hello All,
An retired bloke that drinks in my local has an electrical fault, and refuses to get an electrician out to sort things.(wont even consider it." £££ a waste, I'll get charged the earth !"). Due to the 'nature' of the fault I would like to go and have a look myself as it could be dangerous for the old git. .
He complains that he is 'getting' the dreaded 'tingle' when he is in the shed that he uses as a workshop. Mainly off of a 'little' lathe !!! (he has a fluorescent, and a double socket I am told).
First, I was going to do an efli test, isolate, check all the connections, disconnect anything 'plugged in' and then do another efli. ?
I know he will turn it back on if I ask him not to, so should I just leave it ?
Thanks for any advice.
