Discuss Worst tested cable I ever found doing a EICR in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Well the landlord said it was working, and maybe it wasn't, and it was not working after he left he says so I just presumed the power supply had got fried perhaps not the tablet, but then again more likely as it runs on low DC. May have got a bit of a rise in the supply for a while. Why do you think that would have no effect @westward10 ?
 
Yes we agree, on new installs we carry out full insulation resistance testing and where possible on EICR works. It's not always possible to remove sensitive electronic equipment We just completed a EICR on a sports hall and the client wished for a full 100% Inspection and Test which meant we disconnect all 100 Light Fittings. We've just completed a few EICR tests on our installs 5 years old and it was lovely because we could unplug all klik roses, had all the data from our install certificates, pleasure to test.
 
Yep always got told that by the 2391 supervisor, never quite got my head around that. So you will never know IR on L to N that way, always feel its a bit slapdash. Prepared to be corrected though! I can see it where there are fifty flours and I want to do some IR testing at least, things like that.
50 flours? is that fluorescent fittings or floors?

No quality control in the factory will stress test sample batches with voltages up to 2.5kvdc, if any fail the previous run will be discarded/investigated.
