• Top Tip from Chris Barker

I use my Megger as part of my Jointing Kit now. Test before Jointing, after Jointing. If sectionalised joint test across barrier. Test bonding lead before connected and after connected. Then from link box and then after joints have been sanded and covered before complete reinstatement. Peace of mind is such a good thing knowing you have left the joint bay all clear.
