    UK I have a Megger MFT 1721 everything works fine the button that lights up the screen and the switch button doesn't work.

    Looks brand-new, I'd take it back for a swap to see if it's the same. Or try the manual, I only have kewtech so can't comment on the operation.

    UK Low voltage from live to earth, on a ring final.

    My guess would be damp and corrosion somewhere is the cause. But same result as what James has said.

    Does This Installation Look Correct?

    This is the same one posted a couple of days ago?

    Boat engine electrics

    Learn something new everyday. I've never seen an electric start outboard other than in the movies. I've only ever worked on yachts and small fishing boat outboards with a pull start

    His description just had me thinking yacht, don't find many 2 stroke outboards running off of batteries

    And check oil, some sensors will prevent engine start if it's not got oil to the correct level.

    UK Safe Summerhouse Supply

    Go for the garage CU. You'd be sick as a chip sat in the dark and having to walk back to the house in the rain to turn a breaker back in 😀

    Boat engine electrics

    If it's turning, you need to confirm fuel and air. Id have a look over the fuses first too before doing the below. To check fuel, crack the nut at the injector, turn over briefly and see if fuel comes out. Do that for each injector. If no fuel, turn over until it comes out. If you're not...

    UK Tone generator advice

    Plenty for sale with the tone and wand as a pain. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256680192249?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=MnzR2JpQRIG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=L8mRPeRmQuq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    UK Tone generator advice

    Google BT tone, loads of 2nd hand for sale on eBay. I've tracked cables over 10 kilometres and signal is amazing. It works on cables with 50vdc live but doubt it would survive a live AC circuit. To confirm cable, short out the two conductors and tone will stop

    Unbalanced final ring

    Yep! Edit button was disabled by the time I seen it. Hopefully the 15m/15m clarified what I intended 😀

    How long would this take you to do, on price?

    As a day rate, I charge £750 a day for two lads to pull in cable only. They get £150-£200 each depending on their skill level. Rest is used for insurance, van cost, diesel, tyres, travel, etc. depending on location, I'd be looking to charge £500-£800 a day for termination, 2nd fix etc. if it was...

    Unbalanced final ring

    Why not rebalance the ring by extending it in one of the cavities? It's an old ideology but in theory works. Calculate the length to the two sockets feeding kettle and dryer, for example, by splitting the ring. Then calculate the distance from the other side of the split ring socket back to the...

    UK Rcbo intermittently tripping

    Look for something different on the walls. Guessing a new picture has been hung or something of the nature that puts holes into walls or floors. Or a leak has caused something to get very wet. Take some resistance measurements to calculate rough distance to the fault

    RCBO identification

    With the spare slots they could have just split them I guess onto additional RCBOs. Obviously 20a MCB will burn the housiender down long before it trips. But why is there 6 lighting feeds? Assuming that 20a has 4 looking at the pic and the two 6a RCBOs are lighting having 1 each

    Insulation resistance results weird on actuator circuits

    My guess would be moisture at the plug end. Not necessarily wet, but vapour inside the plug. Or if it's a really old cable, could be starting to weather and crack?
