I must say I very much appreciate the pace you talk at it gives me just enough time to gather my thoughts. when I learnt this not too long ago it was at a much faster pace and I just had to take note and go over them as I didnt understand it fully

Andy you're an absolute diamond.THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time and making the effort to make and post such a BRILLIANT video. Crystal clear step by step explanations throughout. I have my first NICEIC assessment in the morning and this was the one sticking point I was struggling to get my head around, until watching this that is.

This is by far the best electrical video explaining how to do Ze and PFC tests. I watched Andys video on transposition of formula and he explained that better than my course tutor. Its a shame you do not do a whole series of testing videos that relate to the AM2 as this is where a lot of apprentices etc struggle. I hope this is something you will do in the future.

My thanks to Tim and Chris for pointing out that the instruction manual requires the test leads on a Kewtech KT63 to be in 2-wire mode when using the high current test mode. In answer to your question Tim about whether previous test results are valid, I've conducted the test many times using both 2 lead and 3 lead configurations on various meters and the results have always been identical. The golden rule though is always follow the manufacturer's instructions so I've given myself a slap on the wrists!

37k views and no one has left a comment. Andy - slight surprise that the term meggering is still being used, the onsite guide being referenced in a training session and no main earth terminal notice fitted, but i'm nit picking ! a clear and excellent video.

Nice pace to this video. Would have been good to mention maybe why it was so important to isolate the CU when carrying out the Ze test. 👍
