    Difficult Service head

    Can you feed 2 radials from one fused spur

    Before I start, I know this is not usual but I want to know if it's against regs. I'm testing a conservatory ring, feed from a fused spur.

    New multifunction tester

    Hi, I'm obviously new. I'm looking at buying a fluke 1663 but am concerned that when the new 18th edition comes in it will be obsolete. Would I be better off buying a used 1653b, + calibration, and then a new mf tester when the new regs come in? If this has been covered then please feel free to...
