Well hello it's been a few weeks.

I would like to apologise for the slow down in videos over the new year, I have been sick since mid December and I am only now starting to get better.

I have many videos planned for the coming weeks, but thought I would upload this one now as I am still a little under the weather to record any voice.

This video was made a couple of years ago (apologise for the quality) and it was created to highlight a potential risk with people who use R2 adaptors religiously when carrying out continuity of protective conductor testing. Whilst the method required for ring final circuits results in the verification of polarity, this doesn't happen when we test radial circuits in the way we are trained, and using these adaptors.
