Discuss fuseboard change in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

now that's one of the most sensible posts from a " newbie " that i have read so far
 
if you re in a monsoon ladies clothes shop in middle of york it is impossible to isolate supply .!.. so how can niceic say in them columns that one column must be completed.. ????? . were do you go from there then .. are you in niceic by any chance,
 
Arrange for the testing and inspecting to be done out of hours. Take it this is PIR we are talking about.

You don't need to measure either on a PIR.

The questions that you are asking, I can't believe they're letting you loose in a shopping center with a meter.:)




This thread is getting worse.
 
yes it is.. but impossible when you work for a big firm and they want one a day doin. but my point is how can you do it wen it is impossible to shut down and you cant do em at night coz of security but niceic sheets say,s one column must be completed,???. very strange
 
If the customer believes they can get a new CU fitted, along with all the testing and certification for £140.00 I'd simply provide an estimate of at least double (if not a bit more) and let them make their minds up.

Don't try and do a proper CU change for £140.00 - it won't make any sense nor do anything for your professionalism!
 
sound thanx for tht pal i didn,t no if you had to join a group or not . while i,m here have you done 2391 yet are or you upto testing standards yet cheers mate..if yes or no , my question is can you do a R1 + R2 test while the board is live at the board itself. ??

Okay, Dynamite, the answer to your original question:

NO, you can't. You can't do a R1 + R2 test anywhere while the board is live.

You shouldn't even take the cover off a board while it's live.

Then again, you don't need to do an R1 + R2 test on a PIR anyway - and you don't have to fill in one of the columns - that's b******s.

So, there's the answer - but it's not the answer that you want, is it??:)
 
so why does it say you must fill in at least one column on niceic if you cnnott isolate the supply..!! how can we do this.either the customer must have it isolated MUST or the sheets should say if possible NICEIEC,,
