    Unexpected voltages?

    Apologies just for confirmation. All I saw was " the readings are correct". Assuming my feed is 2 conductors from the 4 wires is that the case? I'll go into my field tomorrow as the supply line passes through it and see if I an tell how many conductors there are. I won't be cancelling the...

    Unexpected voltages?

    In theory single phase. The voltage between L and N has always fluctuated. Any where from 230v to 245v. I've never checked the voltage to Earth before until a couple of days ago when I had an unexpected RCD trip. The weather has changed from dry and warm to wet and cold which I know can cause...

    Unexpected voltages?

    Guys, voltage is taken using a digital volt meter. I know these can give false readings hence wiring up an incandescent bulb to check that it is real. It is... The RCD trips when testing from the protected side but illuminates The bulb from the unprotected side.

    Unexpected voltages?

    Hello from Spain! I am after some help and advice. Whilst checking my supply ( which is TT and the whole installation is protected by a 30ma RCD) I have found the following With the earth connected to the rod L to N 240v L to E 345v N to E 148v If I disconnect the earth rod, at the consumer...
