That is exactly what I would do. I'm plenty confident in a domestic environment, and I understand the theory of 3-Phase, but the gubbins look all different! That's why I generally won't touch it. BUT...if I were to get a job I was mostly happy on, with one sticky bit - say a large building with 3-Phase supply and 3 DB's to supply domestic kit, then I wouldn't walk away. I'd find a guy who would take the time to explain and allow me to watch him do his stuff, helping if I could, pay him for his time and crack on.
As for different responses to those of us who, like myself, are 'Domestic Installers'; well, it's a big world out there and over the years I have grown shoulders (and stomach :blush5
to match. It can get 'hot' in here, but I asked to come in so I have to accept that sometimes I'm gonna get a clobberin'. Fair enough, that's how we learn, but we ALL have to start somewhere, ALL of us! And speaking from someone who started out in heavy industry on Tyneside in the late '70s (talk about sh1te timing!) older, time served guys THEN were slagging off us newbies for coming in without having any experience or idea how it 'SHOULD be done this way, 'cos it's ALWAYS been done this way' and these 'modern qualifications' were not fit for purpose. They often ended up getting ignored because it was always the same response which was a shame, because they had a lot to give. That experience taught me a lot about how I would behave if I ever reached there exalted status of expertise (which I didn't, not in engineering anyway!) Well, having prodded the hornets nest I'm getting my tin hat on, a large packed lunch and a flask of char and I'm heading to my bunker! :laugh3:
