    Proving Your Neutral Electrical Connections

    There appears to be anecdotal evidence from recent threads and the interminable debate regarding BS 7671 Amd 3 and the non-combustible CU thing that Neutral connections are the source of many overheating incidents that in some cases lead to fires.

    Why are proving units so expensive?

Several firms make them but they all seem quite expensive is it because not many are sold as an Electronics engineer I can't see the components costing a lot or is there some other reason.
