Great show guys. Really enjoyed it.
Interesting that you spoke about AFDDs and PEN fault. Neither of these in the UK have a proper way for the electrician to test them effectively. Most current AFDD tests are only testing the MCB/RCBO side and do not test for series or parallel ARC fault. In fact the AFDD does not detect both series and parallel in it's current incarnation. Also as stated there is no BSEN for the PEN fault detecter.
As a topic for future discussion what about PPE. What it is and why it is needed at different levels. Glasses, gloves, HiViz and then why they may ask for a mask and the different types of mask and possibly how an il-fitting mask offer very little to no protection.
HiViz diferent type and the square meterage and colour. Rail is a great example as is Motorways
It would be good to make it clear that PPE is the last line of defence.
Does the danager need to be present?
Can the danger be avoided?
Safe systems of work?
