    Views on a code if inspecting

    I’m in a venue (U.K.) at the moment which leaves a lot to be desired in pretty much all aspects but in the process of glancing around I spotted this, below. It’s definitely a C2 but I’m curious as to how people would judge that little bit of connector strip as a potential C1. Genuine...

    I have a light switch where the CPC has been used for a lighting circuit and sleeved.
