Zapped,
I hate to be rude or anything, but I don't think that a thread like this would be appropriate in a field of professional Electricians.
What I am more or less thinking of is, a DIY guy reading some of the comments from a certain part of this thread and getting the wrong idea on how to fault-find a live circuit and the like.
Other folks here may have different ideas, but I would hate to see anyone get hurt by taking anything here the wrong way.
We tend to write things here in a way that outsiders of the trade find rather confusing, lets not cause anyone that doesn't understand the in's and out's of this trade any harm.
I could be totally wrong and may have jinxed this thread.
Anyone else like to post a reply?.
