Djk,
Anyway, the contractor had hired south african electricians who the ESB considered to be insufficiently qualified despite their insistance that they'd worked on such systems before and had the appropriate qualifications. [...]
It seemed to be down to red tape, but I'm not 100% sure. They seemed quite concerned that these guys were working on stuff that wasn't the same as South African gear that they were familar with without appropriate certification and training.
Something similar happened in Sweden (Gothenburg) with British electricians the other year.
