    Does reinstallation of busbar need professional sign off?

    I'm buying a house and have received the electrical testing certificate.

    Testing bus bars

    Good morning everyone, Is testing bus bars part of fixed wiring test? if yes, how do we test them? for example, shall we check the connections on both sides? continuity test or torque test,..etc? ( in my project, it is running from LV panel to floor main DB)

    Need to add neutral slots to my 125 amp panel to match ground slots.

    I have an Eaton 125 amp panel with a ground bus bar with 24 slots and 14 neutral slots. I have a 6 breaker Reliance 7500w transfer panel connected to it. The main panel has 4 unused breakers. I need to increase slots on my neutral side. Can I add an additional neutral busbar to the existing one?

    Classification of Busbar Trunking

    Hi all! I was having a bit of a to do with a colleague of mine regarding busbar trunking. We both agreed during our inspection that a busbar deserves it’s own test sheet as it is a method of distribution which each “tap off” denoting a separate circuit. However I argued that the ‘Zdb and...
