  1. Fortunately some installer do get found out and prosecuted, I have acted as an expert witness in three case to date
  2. Some of the people involved with and ISO group are also installers. The main reason within inland waterways is self-certification, No one to police the industry
  3. The 3 and 10 % rule was added to the ISO in 2013. Most installer are not aware of this within the ISO.
  4. There is another issue which might need to be considered when installing a Galvanic Isolator. There is alot of documentation that galvanic isolators are being activated By the voltages found on the earth cable within the distribution network on the shore side of the galvanic isolator
  5. This is a simply question to answer use 10 mm cable from the Batteries directly to the Fridge using the correct protection
  6. Do not forget there is also a 3 % volt drop rule for essential items of equipment such as bilge pumps etc. This is a requirement of ISO 13297 which now also covers 10133 from January this year.
  7. EN 10133 has now been amalgamated into EN 13297. These two standards are for DC and AC cable installations. There have been no changes to either standards since 2013
  8. Could it not be a wiring fault. Is the ignition warning light extinusing?

  10. What happens to the alternator if it is not spinning at a speed so that it does not overheat The best way to recharge lithium is to use a battery to battery charging system.
  11. Fenner Power transmissions Will be able to supply the pulley and taper lock.
  12. A number sleeve is more than adequate and cross reference it, or use a colour code again needs to be cross referenced
  13. All new craft should have all cables marked it is a requirement of the Recreational Craft Directive
  14. If I try and pay in more than 2K in cash I normally have to speak with the manager When supply power electronics I often get this amount of cash. The rules are changing all of the time
  15. Good morning Which area of the canal system are you based? I have installed many BTM-1 over the years I would be happy to take a look.
  16. Battery voltage does not need resetting, this sounds like a wiring issue? The manual should be on the web site, I will try to find the link https://images.mastervolt.nl/files/ManualBTM020300EN.pdf
  17. I would use one of the many fire stopper products

  19. Yes they were aware of the rules but by waiting for an ambulance it was going to around two to three hours
  20. Sadly two competent officers have resign because of a formal warning, because they took a injured man to hospital. all of that experience and expertise has been lost.
  21. It was not because they did nor what for a ambulance but because they used a stretcher in a private vehicle
  22. The person who works from his narrow boat could have the same qualifications as using someone from a boat yard Over heads will be slightly less. A small example public liability insurance is over £ 1000.00 per year.
