    Computer leads tested individually

    Hi guys and gals, I have a question about the leads to computers (commonly known as kettle leads). I am new to PAT testing so please bear with me if this is a silly question. I am aware that if a product has a particularly long lead then the result of the continuity test can come out larger...

    How can this part be tested

    Type tested regulation number.

    Does anyone know the reg number that states that you can't mix protective devices? I have searched the forum but the search tool isn't great. Thanks

    DB installed connected & tested

    Just your thoughts on this DB,it’s a Lewden type,I personally don’t like them. Bus bar,not ideal,main switch on right,space very tight to make connections,hate the rcbo’s,screws in front of each other,making it hard to retighten .
