Avo that is brilliant. I have completed the C&G cert and have electrical/electronic background but was just stumped on what to do about a reel. Makes sense now. First PAT job too.Worth having a look at this thread on the same topic, especially the latter part, which includes a table of cable resistances, and references to the code of practice at that time. This poster had 0.5 ohm too!
Cable reels pat testing
Found two 25m cable reel extensions on a pat test yesterday with no RCDs should they be automatically taken out of service. They were at least 10 years old. The 5th addition says up to 15m max?www.electriciansforums.net
