    I did two EMEB HV courses. We used to issue EMEB personnel with our permits to work, the show how we had isolated the LV. They would accept the permits after checking and then issue their own system and tag the switches with ID system. Very thorough.
    Good course to go, scare the **** out of you , then build your confidence.

    working on a LV/380V switchboard one night the SE now SSE shut down the HV side of the transformers ,we were finishing off , new incoming breaker installed , HV back on , incoming LV breaker off ,I moved an incoming transformer cable and the SEB engineer knocked me out of the way , the transformer cables were unglanded and had exposed the copper rubbing on the switchboard frame , quick calculation he reckoned the open circuit fault current was 30 kA enough t blow the roof off and vapourise us , I learned a great 11kV respect that night

    You say anyone under the age of 18 cannot be sent to fight at the front!

    Was this the rules during WW when some as young as 14 signed up to the MN and ended up on ships with Dems Gunners on board.
    Did such ships often involved in enemy action conform or not.

    I am aware it was a different time then but it was still in many senses the front line.

    Your girls must be tougher than ours, ours are allowed at the front but not to engage in actual combat.
