    Thanks to mister @marconi , I received his chip AT28C16 gift from England ! I will start to make the 5x7 led matrix project that you did. I will make it alone as much as I can (as usual). And I will ask you for clarifications on the way.

    What's common practice with IR tests on lighting circuits?

    I had just installed a heat alarm on the downstairs lighting circuit during a kitchen rewire. The new kitchen ring / cooker circuit I tested IR for L-N and N-E at 500v, fine, but the DS lighting circuit consisted solely of 21 LED downlights, in various rooms and the alarm. All of which say do...

    Ok. So.... How do I log this for an EICR?

    Right. Any suggestions how to split this out on a schedule of tests? New sheet for each section? Buggered if I have a clue.

    Trainee Sequence of tests in guidance note 3 (initial verification)

    How come the sequence of tests in guidance note 3 is that the Zs test comes before the PFC test? Isn't it normal to do PFC test before the Zs test? Because then you can do your PFC test, put the board cover on and energize the board without coming back to do the PFC test.

    Two new Wylex RCDs both failed tests

    Folks, A bit baffled (not difficult) ... added a light switch in a rental this week (empty property so no social distancing issues) and checked the RCD before I signed off. It was a Wylex 80a 30mA and it failed all tests (inc. ramp) so I like-for-like replaced it. The new one also failed all...

    RCBO tests

    Anyone an idea why an RCBO measures >40ms on a 5x test on the second half of the sine wave but all other tests are within requirements? Sorry, it's not a single RCBO, there's 2 RCBOs in this board and both have similar results leading me to think not a faulty RCBO but an issue further upstream...

    Tests prior to RCD fitting

    Apologies I know theres been a few threads about this and IR tests, but I'm still somewhat confused. The way I understood how an RCD works is it measures the current flowing through the Line and the current flowing through the neutral on the return. If there is an imbalance of more than 0.03...
