2. Any ideas on this situation - want to adjoin trunking to a sub board. The trunking is 100 x 100 but the DB is...
Do you carry out AC IR tests with generation meter (elster) connected ie from inverter to disconnected conductors at the board, or will this damage the meter? I've been linking it out but apart from the test not being true to the installation it can be a pig if the meter is in an awkward spot...

If you did a PIR for a 2391 exam and after testing found insulation resistance on a circuit to be 0.4M Ohms between line and earth on an outside light which code would you use?
