    Bang!

    So I go to a job a couple of days ago in a small shop. One of the things to do is fix an RCD that isnt working in a dual RCD board (not that neat but ok, no labels), everything works but if you turn the RCD off it doesnt disconnect the supply to the 4 MCBs it covers. Also the test button doesnt...

    Earth goes bang!

    Hi all. Just went to a property where the water and taps were given a shock to the house occupiers. The boiler was cross bonded and had a bonding conductor run to the MET. But however surprisingly the property did not have the main earth. So I had connected a 16mm earth to the ccu and when I was...

    Ok, I must have done something wrong but cannot work out what, 3 phase BANG!!!

    Hi, bit of a rush job, but when double checked by me, then another spark could not work out what I did wrong. Needed a r1r2 reading on a feed from one of our DB boards to an isolator about 10m away. This circuit has been live for some time, just a double check was needed (d63 breaker was on...

    Resistors and capacitor going bang.

Fairly easy stuff, but i have to admit the last time i did this stuff was when i was where they are now, and that is more years ago then i will admit.

    "just bang it on an RCBO!"......... TABLE 41.3

    this slightly confuses me; whenever a Zs reading comes up too high, e.g on a particularly long run, to get around the problem if you cant change the MCB rating, I get told to change it for an RCBO. Table 41.3 of the regs gives max Zs values for both MCB and RCBO protection. If our Zs value...

    Hi all, Just had quite a fright & must say I'm pretty annoyed with myself. I've just tested the ends of a wire to check if it was live (using a fluke voltmeter) and had a massive flash and bang at the points of the probes). I'm annoyed because I should have isolated the circuit and...
