I love it Muzza, you get to become a bit of a detective and have to start a logical process of elimination. However, I would not enjoy if I was under pressure so I try and plan and make time for the fault finding.

That would be very interesting Muzza, you tend to get more help on this site if you become a bit more interactive.

Me too, the satisfaction you get when you have tracked down that elusive neutral earth fault and you test the cable again and it's all good and then flick on the RCD and it holds. You think glass of wine when I get home to celebrate.

Then you go home really chuffed at fixing it and tell the Missus and go into massive detail about what the problem was and all she can say is "oh right"! Then the bubble is burst and your back to reality.:wink_smile:

I enjoy pretty much all aspects of my job.

Fault finding is a vital skill which requires a logical approach and clear thinking.

Only when the customer knows that the bill will only be determined once the fault is identified and fixed!
