Morning Chaps
Have my first assessment with Elecsa on Wednesday and am bricking it. Could one of you advise me on Isolation.
It is 8 flats which I rewired, so my plan is to let him pick any flat. When I arrive, I will:
ALL from Landlords cupboard.
Turn of power to flat from service switch. Then from my own isolator, will switch off and also pull the fuse out and pocket it. Lock landlords cupboard and place sign on it.
No proving unit so I will test meter in flat next door, Check CU is dead, then test meter again.
Am I correct?
This is where my confusion comes, which I picked up from another thread about leaving cover off DB. When I have finished dead test, I will remove CPC from MET and then go and energise, so I can take a Ze at DB.
Should I ask the examiner to come out of flat, lock the door whilst I walk downstairs to energise the system. Or replace cover on DB first and then energise.
Once tested, I will then de-energise, prove dead and then replace CPCs.
So question is, lock him out of room or replace cover.
And is this what you guys would do.
Cheers
