Hello everyone,
I've recently been on a training course to allow me to perform II+TEE on the equipment of the company I work for. The business is partly office based, partly environmental survey based and we are pretty low risk.
I would like to get some clarification from the board if...
just want someone to check me here
ive a lighting circuit with a 12v transfomer (fan), about 8 high..ish fluorescents and a bathroom with pir controlled ballast fluorescents approx 6 if i remember
now to insulation test, is it easy as joining the live and neutral together at the dist. box and...
I've noticed on a couple of ocassions now.
That my Type s 100ma rcd will somtimes trip before either of my 30ma rcd. CAN some one tell me why this may happen?
Hey guys!
I have a RCD protecting the sockets in a 2-bed flat, everything else is unprotected. Every now and then it will trip when we switch the (unprotected) lights off (any lights, coming from 2 different MCBs). It often happens in the early morning between 6 and 830am and we will use the...
So a few weeks back I get called out to a guy who's RCD won't set. He's just returned from holiday to find this so not much idea from him when the initial fault occured. To be honest, I was expecting to turn up and find that he needs a new kettle as this is in my experience almost always the...
What tripping time should I expect to be acceptable when doing a ramp test on both 30ma and 100ma rcds. I mean is 70ma tripping time on a 100ma rcd too sensitive?

When doing an insulation resistance test on selv spots what's the best way to do it without disconnecting all the transformers?
Can you do a complete consumer unit insulation resistance test by linking the live and neutral bars together and testing between earth on a 500 volt test or should...
Hi All,
I have a client who wants to know if I can supply controls that will turn on the electric coil in her immersion heater only when her PV system is generating. Whilst I know a controls engineer who could make something up for me it seems a bit OTT to bring him in on a domestic job...

Hi,
When IR testing a circuit where voltage sensitive devices cannot be easily removed, and using test method 2 as per GN3, where they advise connecting line & neutral together and then testing to earth from this connection. Is there any reason not to just test between line & earth and then from...
Does anyone have any ideas where I can get a simple automatic switch that is sensitive to when the sun is shining?
I have a d.i.y swimming pool with black pipe solar collector, It is hard for me to estimate what the days weather is gonna be like before I go off and work. A simple automatic...
