    Pricing and Timing

    30% is absolutely fine. Use it myself.

    Electricians Vans, any of you have electric vans? How good are they now?

    Have a 75kWh Citroën ë-Dispatch and almost never need to use public charging (although it can take up to 100kW DC rapid charge when needed). Really can't fault it. Great van. Generally only charge it from around 30% to around 70% unless I need greater range. Had a free charging offer yesterday...

    UK Re using a 10mm cable to provide a new ring

    Just seeing this thread now, but the awkward part will be finding a suitable way to joint 10mm^2 cable to your 2*2.5mm^2 cables.

    What is it called IR testing?

    Not sure how many times I've pointed out in the comments that he shouldn't be disconnecting the cpcs when insulation testing, and yet he still does it!

    Unreasonably high invoice bill from an electrician

    The idea of contingency planning can be alien to them...

    What is it called IR testing?

    It will only do it on the first test at 1kV though. Repeated tests aren't subject to the warning.

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    Absolutely. I have a 75 kWh Citroën ë-Dispatch. Great van.

    Unreasonably high invoice bill from an electrician

    This is precisely the issue. I had the HSE out with me a number of years ago to offer advice about RAMS (gratis in fairness to them), and these were some of the points made. It's difficult to argue with the logic too.

    Neutral Pole

    Subject to harmonic distortion...

    Unreasonably high invoice bill from an electrician

    Leaving aside the other points it is worth noting that lone working is specifically discouraged by the HSE, so it could be argued that it is never reasonable for something to be a one-man job.

    Can you Self-Certify somehow to avoid paying for a scheme?

    Registration doesn't cost €75 - it's actually several hundred Euro. (€487.67 or some weird amount this year - it's risen quite substantially recently. Was something like €350 before that.)

    Low insulation resistance reading

    TT (Direct) Earthing is essentially non-existant within the State, bar perhaps a very few relics. TN-C-S (Neutralised) applies to very nearly 100% of electrical installations.

    Emergancy work flow

    This is the problem. If your website isn't at the top of Google then no-one will see it. If it is, then you will be inundated with calls - including nonsense spam and sales calls. There's no easy answer I'm afraid.
