[QUOTE="revor, post: 509898, member: 23254"] I guess the greatest issue with employing an apprentice is H& S you would need to be confident they are not going to do something unsafe and electrocute themselves or someone else which means standing over them so slows you down. The company who came to do my inspection have about 40 staff many of course will be office based and would probably be the size of company that could afford to have apprentices. I reckon they will have been hit hard by the pandemic as they did lots of electrical provisions for outdoor events . I mentioned earlier that the privilege loads CU will be provided with an alternative feed via a changeover switch if the inverter goes down so there is a grid supply to those elected loads on that CU. I was going to take the supply from the Henley block via a 2 pole 32A MCB in an enclosure except can't get one locally. I do need a breaker in the supply as it is coming via 6 mm tails so need to protect them. I have a spare way on another CU which I could take supply from but that mean that the privilege loads CU will have its own RCD and that of the supplying CU. Have often seen debates about having such an arrangement but wondered what your take is on this. I am expecting not to have to use this arrangement as it is only a emergency backup in event of inverter failure or maintenance. [/QUOTE]
