Good afternoon Andy

I would be interested in people views on AMD 3 post DPC now the amendment has been published.

I suppose the IET have said that an amendment 4 DPC is in the pipeline that will solve the question of amendment or 19th Edition?

They certainly seem to have gone down the minimalist route - a single sentence and no mention of power flow at all - so they certainly seem to have "designed out" a lot of the objections/confusion to the DPC. I guess some say it's too brief and won't be understandable by some, but I suppose that's where guidance comes in. I don't thin it's a bad attempt.

I think they've done an excellent job. Less is more, so condensing down to one sentence which elegantly conveys what is necessary is sublime.

I particularly like that it’s a normative requirement to “take account off” – it’s a nice balance which meets the objective of what’s nescessary at this point whilst avoiding overreaching when we don’t quite have the underpinning principles in place.

I wonder if Amendment 4 will get some balls rolling on trying to get the principles sorted?
