Watch how you can utilize the MobileEOM app to complete design details and test results. All information can then be imported to ElectricalOM to create complete schematics, cable calculations, schedules, selectivity analysis and produce the test certificates.

Just bought an ethos 8400 mft, it's very simple, but as a trainee just wanted to know if it's possible to test Type A, AC, F, S,G RCDs with this tester, it says it tests only type S and type G. So I'm just a bit confused.

As it says really. When testing LE or NE resistance > 300M ohms but between L and N I was getting a reading of about 0.2M ohms. Could it be the BG cooker switch that has two neon lights that is the problem? If it is, after shoving 500V dc through them, should I replace this erstwhile brand new...

How do i go about wiring maintained emgs that switch on with lighting controlled by a sensor ? There will also be a test kit.

Why does the resistance go up during this test? View: https://youtu.be/8040r2iLqyM?t=1150 In fact it goes up several times during the video. Is this the wire charging up from capacitance? I'm clueless.

Currently doing an EICR on 2 neighbouring propertys... 1 had a new consumer unit done within the last 5 years and 1 has the original unit. These property's are supplied overhead and the original unit has a TT system installed. The Electrician that has installed the new unit has left the TT...
