Almost a year ago I bought a 2nd hand Fluke 6500-2 from ebay. It was in almost unused condition complete with leads, barcode scanner, software etc. It arrived, I chucked it in the corner and I immediately forgot all about it. I was...
First try using the new Click Mode switches today, and I love the way that every light switch is automatically a grid switch. That means you can buy a light switch and change the modules to whatever you like.
I was fitting an outside light and was able to swap out one of the switches on a two...
What tools do you guys use that you don’t need as a necessity but once you get they make your life that much easier? For example knipex installation pliers/ ck armour slice/ ck cable tongue

I have been reading posts on this forum for quite a time, and some people have been criticising Part P as though it was a wonderful world before Part P came along.
I personally don't think it was so great before Part P, and I don't think it's so great now, but my point is that there were...
Today I was in a customers house. I had to take up some chipboard flooring in the bathroom. I set the circular saw so that it will cut to the right depth and not too deep.... I think some of you have already guessed where this is going :D .... and start cutting.
Now in the five years I have...

Hi all, still training so please forgive my very simple question. Why is it ok to test an appliance at 500vdc when PAT testing but great care should be taken to remove all equipment when IR verifying a new circuit installation?
