    110V DC Float Earth Ground Fault

    Thanks for this!! I should have realised when turning the lights on that this was the issue. Having so many problems with carbon build up from brushes in the past and other issues I went straight to the motors. Disconnected one of the 110V lighting circuits and the alarm is completely cleared...

    110V DC Float Earth Ground Fault

    Good morning all, A 'ground fault' alarm came in over the weekend on the 110V charging system. We have two 110V fans currently running and I am suspecting that one is at fault but I can't turn it off yet to fault find. I say I suspect this as we have had to change them before because of low...

    Busbar Ductor Testing

    The ductor tester we have doesn't store the readings that is the next model up from ours. Not too much hassle to be honest. I use a celltron battery analyser, sounds similar to your fluke. Tests each cell, readings in mhos and tells you whether it is good or not and you can identify...

    Busbar Ductor Testing

    I was being sarcastic Rob sorry. No need for any math though as you do the test and write down the result. No need to make things difficult. It is something like (L2+L3)-(L1+L2)=L1 (L1+L3)-(L2+L3)=L2 (L2+L3) etc etc being the result of linking the 2 busbars and testing between. These two...

    Busbar Ductor Testing

    He just creates work. I didn't make it clear properly, he isn't linking the bars to reduce the amount of testing as he also tests each bar separately then does some degree level mathematics to get the final result. Personally I don't think he knows what he is doing and is making it up as he goes...

    Busbar Ductor Testing

    Yes dead testing. Apparently it is how he did it 9 years ago here and lots of calculations. I have retired to the office and left him to it. The whole point is to check soundness of joints, ie tight and low resistance. Not measure resistance between phases. Which have been linked out by him...

    Busbar Ductor Testing

    Now I haven't done a lot of this and it's been 9 years since I last did it. We have a big bus bar section to test with numerous joints. Now the fella I am working with wants to link out let's say L1 and L2 and then put the test leads across L1 and L2 at the other end and take a reading!! I...

    HNC Electrical Engineering

    I'm doing mine through teeside uni distance learning. Should've finished by now but hit a wall and tutor support was a bit poor. I'm actually trying to get into it again now and looking for help on one question to get the motors module out the way. If you're good at maths and can get your...

    Terminating/blanking off 2 way switching

    Didn't see the blacks but never really looked at the pic if I'm honest. Neutrals perhaps looped in/out of switch?

    Terminating/blanking off 2 way switching

    Been a while since I've popped on here and posted but couldn't help but notice this one. So if I'm not wrong, you have 2no light switches that operate as a 2 way. One or both of them are 2 gang? One light switch is no longer used and is hidden behind a picture so essentially you are using...

    Anyone work as a BT Power Engineer?

    Bit like the company I'm currently doing work for! I usually do more heavy industrial oil/gas work. Do you know what they are like as a company to work for? They seem very keen to get me so I am naturally suspicious but worried it could get a bit boring. Coin is coin though and cash is king...
