[QUOTE="Joshua_S, post: 461990, member: 30075"] Hi all, After completing my plumbing NVQ I am now completing my gas portfolio after just spending a week placement with British Gas. Part of the boiler service is to complete a Dynamic Assessment Checklist and so first perform a safe electrical isolation check( Have a further understanding of electrical isolation=>[URL="http://www.apogeeweb.net/article/70.html"]http://www.apogeeweb.net/article/70.html[/URL]). Now this involves 2 tasks: 1st using an electric pen voltage tester over the boiler, 2nd using a socket and see device. Where I get confused is does the pen tester to check earth continuity and the socket and see device to check the resistance polarity or the way around? I am a newbie in the trade and need some clarification also as to what both tests differs from each other? I thank in advance anyone who will offer its support. Really appreciated guys! Thank you.
