Practising Licencing

So just after some clarification. I know a guy who is due for redoing the safe working practise course but obviously can't get one booked in. His license is still valid thru to 2021 but he normally does the SWP and FA on the off licencing year. Is the PL still valid if the refresher course isn't don...

Re: www.electricalforum.co.nz - Master electricians

The copyright question is a tricky one indeed. An organisation that operates a platform has no copyright over the content an individual "puts into" that platform. For example, if I dig up some of the gold that is the old AngryClient posts on the old platform and put it on this forum there is sweet F...

Re: Number of Main Switches

Should I add that the "switch" in the Metering enclosure doesn't isolate the meter, it is on the load side. So what is the point of it at all?

Re: Number of Main Switches

Ok so I'm getting conflicting information here. I think its not compliant. This is what we have: Mains from street into Meter Enclosure terminated to "Main Switch" From there it goes across to the Switchboard where terminated into "Main Switch".

Re: Request a new Forrum here

Agree we need one for Hazardous Areas. But can we call it Hazardous Areas (as per Regulations) rather than Explosive Atmospheres (as par standards)?

Re: Number of Main Switches
