    Circuit Wiring help.

    I was thinking I could change the beacons to a combined sounder/beacon but I’d still need to be able silence the sounder and have the beacon stay flashing

    Circuit Wiring help.

    Everything is 220v as in the power to limit switches and relays and power out to the beacons from the relays but the beacons have a mains module in the base which converts it to 24v DC

    Circuit Wiring help.

    Hi. I’m wiring a system whereby a limit switch sets off a flashing beacon to warn employees that a tank of bitumen is full. I have 6 tanks in total. I have it working no issues. The tank fills up and activates a limit switch which turns on a relay and the flashing beacon will come on. I’ve been...

    Star Delta motor problem.

    As Rob and Andy said above I had the phases mixed up on the windings. Drew it out as he suggested and it made more sense.

    Have it working now lads thank you all for your help. I don't work on motors that often so today was certainly a learning experience. Thanks again.

    Star Delta motor problem.

    Ok I switched two phases and now it's no longer blowing a fuse when switching to Delta but it's just cutting out /motor stopping when it switches to Delta.

    Star Delta motor problem.

    So I have a 55kw Star Delta starting motor. The motor was moved about 10feet from original position so I had to put new cabling in from Isolator to Motor. That's all was changed. When I went to start it it blew a fuse when kicking into Delta. Changed fuse and it happened again only this time it...

    tis 1850 multi function tester

    Sorry for bringing up an old tread. Just wondering has anyone used this mft and what are they like? What's the download function from SD card like and how easy is it to use both as a tester and downloading the results. Thanks. Thinking of buying one.

    Fixed Wire Testing

    Thanks Richard Burns thats an excellent response and I agree fully with it. As I said I would usually do 100% of tests on all circuits. As this is a British based group (but with hotels in Ireland) I wondered was the British standard different. Just on the EFLI test, would you also agree they...

    Fixed Wire Testing

    I know yeah but this is what they are asking for. Normally I would test every circuit.

    Fixed Wire Testing

    So no loop test on any lighting circuits? I'm sure by fixed equipment they mean circuits supplying isolators and spurs?

    Fixed Wire Testing

    Rather than posting parts of the documentation do you mind if I just post the whole thing? And if anyone has any advice on what they do or don't actually want tested that would be a big help to me. Normally I would preform every test on every circuit,But they seem to be asking for something...

    Fixed Wire Testing

    Hi brightspark thanks for the reply.Can you see what I say though about they only request a sample of Lighting circuits or am I reading it wrong? They first say this regarding earth continuity testing : (d) All circuit protective conductors (sample lighting circuits) and then in another...

    Fixed Wire Testing

    Hi All I've been asked to tender for a fixed wire test for a hotel group here in Ireland. They sent me documentation to read through before I tender. The hotel group is UK based so therefore the regulations would also be British standard rather than the Irish standard I work to. I would assume...

    Megger MFT1502 error message

    I saw that but my meter does it for every test regardless if it's the first test or not. I'm guessing it's getting hot right from the start,must be a resistor or something else faulty

    Career change

    Hi all Thanks for the advice. I actually ended up taking a job with a facilities maintenance company. On the day I started I took a phone call from a job that I priced 8 months ago. It was for circuit inspections for a hotel group with 9 hotels to be done and about 10 months work. Told the new...
