electrical standards

i was speaking to an insurance company about this issue a couple weeks ago...to reduce or remove the excess on lightning damage claims if people take steps to protect themself against lightning damage

Wow! That's a really good idea. Something like the incentives for having immobilisers and tracking devices installed in motor vehicles.

Any signs that they liked the idea?

i will be following up on the idea in the new year... i have been so busy over december i finally stopped work on the 29/12/2007 and been cleaning out my workshop and office since then...gearing up for the new year which will start on monday...i have a whole lot of new ideas for 2008 i need to start making all the equipment i have invested in start earning its keep (fluke 435 power quality analyser...metrel mi2192 PQA...fluke 1653 multi function tester...fluke 289 and 189 dmm...ti20thermal imager)...all have recording facilities and calibration certificates...only problem i have is staff.

i employed an electrician 2 months he worked here for 3 weeks and resigned...said i am way too fussy...the one before him wired up a factory put all the pipes in thought his job was a master piece it took me 15 minutes to pull all the piping off the wall...saddles were too far apart saging and not level...some of the couplings were not glued and the anchors were not adaquately tight... as i pulled the piping so the saddles with the anchor came out the wall...just not good enough.
