Why doesn't the UK use AFCI's?
In this post I hope to answer the burning question of, why doesn't the UK include the Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) in their regulations? Actually following the UK naming conventions, I assume they would call them, Arc Fault Circuit Breakers (AFCB) when located within the consumer unit or generically they would be called, Arc Fault Detection Device (AFDD).

Finding a Neutral to Earth fault.
In my previous post I wrote about what a neutral earth fault was and touched on some methods to diagnose the fault without having to use specialist test equipment. In this post I would like to describe some first and second hand experiences of this condition. I want to described 3 cases that I hope to illustrate how awkward this fault can be to diagnose and locate. It also gives food for thought if you have experienced similar issues.
