Greg,
I realise that the US is a HUGE country, but why has there never been any sort of standardisation on laws and legislation/regulations, even funding?
It seemed to me, when I was over there in 1995 and I visited quite a few firehouses around the south and up the East Coast, a lot of these places were either really well set up or they were starved for resources, like vehicles, basic equipment, etc.
Is it seriously a thing over there, that before an installation gets energised that no Insulation Resistance testing, a Polarity test or the like ever happens?
