UK Thermal Imaging Query
You sound like me mate. Lucky enough to have some understanding and patient clients who don't you using them as a test-bed. I do work for fire sprinkler system companies which may help in pump rooms for cold and hot spots especially sounds good for determining the effectiveness of trace heating...- M-B-Electrical-Services

UK Thermal Imaging Query
Ah ok. That makes me feel a little better about doing it. I've 25+ years experience to fall back on so I feel quite confident that I'll be able to make sense of it all. Shouldn't be too difficult to create a report based on the findings. I'm a supplier to a large "group" of companies and I'm...- M-B-Electrical-Services

UK Thermal Imaging Query
Sorry bud, I'm not getting any notifications from replies. Yeah, I agree with you here. I feel I need to invest and, with have some enquiries being made, I would be silly to not follow it through. Have you done any training at all on the subject? I'm looking at thermal imaging courses and...- M-B-Electrical-Services

UK Thermal Imaging Query
Nail on the head really. To be honest, it isn't an area I've considered venturing down due to the high costs involved. I'm a sole trader so competing against the large contractors out there doing this kind of work is generally not a good idea in my experience. However, I'm still interested and...- M-B-Electrical-Services

UK Thermal Imaging Query
Hi guys, Just a quick one regarding thermal imaging really. My business has had numerous requests to carry out thermal imaging assessments at various locations throughout the UK. This is not something I am familiar with so have used the excuse of being unavailable due to workload in order that...- M-B-Electrical-Services

RCD protection for a temporary 16A commando socket outlet
Yeah true. All this effort to try to justify not using an RCD when I could've just included an RCD from the start. 🤣- M-B-Electrical-Services

RCD protection for a temporary 16A commando socket outlet
See, everybody has an opinion which varies and that's fair enough. The installation satisfies clause 1 & 3: 1. Socket-outlets with a rated current not exceeding 32 A in locations where they are liable to be used by persons of capability BA1, BA3 or children (BA2, BA3) - The socket outlet is...- M-B-Electrical-Services

RCD protection for a temporary 16A commando socket outlet
Very true........👍 It's really difficult for me as the owner of the business to make that final decision as it could be catastrophic should I make an incorrect decision. I may seem like I am being overly dramatic about it but I have to be absolutely certain that I have covered all the bases. I...- M-B-Electrical-Services

RCD protection for a temporary 16A commando socket outlet
I could do yes but ultimately, I am responsible for the installation regardless of it being temporary or not. It's my name and business on the dotted line and if something was to go wrong, I would have a tough time explaining why I didn't provide additional protection.- M-B-Electrical-Services

RCD protection for a temporary 16A commando socket outlet
Not a bad idea actually. I just hate the fact that everything always has to come down to pennies when safety is should be the top priority before anything else. I wouldn't mind so much but these installs are funded by a very wealthy corporation so I guess shareholder profits trump all else! 🧐...- M-B-Electrical-Services

RCD protection for a temporary 16A commando socket outlet
I fully agree with you to be honest but the client is kicking up a fuss over costings so I'm looking at ways to circumvent this. Some of their distribution boards are 1980's era and the cost of adding an RCBO (if one can even be sourced) is problematic. I am likely going down the route of a 16A...- M-B-Electrical-Services
