Does that mean that if you already have a 16th edition tester you ahve to get a new one??
If so what changes on them?? |
Evo,
Only changes to testing that i am aware of for the 17th are the IR values, test voltage will be the same, but values all move 'up one' (@500V min now 1Mohm instead of 0.5Mohm)
Heard rumours that ramp testing of rcd's was gonna come in (so you record actual trip current instead of/as well as trip time, but it doesnt look like.
Seen lots of '17th editon testers' out there. Perhaps they come with a little pull out 5cm ruler so you can check the depth of cables below the surface!!!!!
And no, Andy, I am NOT Tony Cable. But by a happy coincidence my last name is 'Overcurrent Protective Device', comes from my fathers side i think.
Are you Andy Impedence by any chance, perhaps Andy Adiabatic Formula?
