Hello,
I have a EV charger that is reporting over voltage and is unable to charge. the charger will operate up to 253V
The solar inverter reports voltages below 253V and when the solar is shutdown and isolated the incoming supply reports voltages in excess 248V consistently, peaking at 256V...
Hi everyone
I am new in this forum and this is my first thread.
Car model: Toyota echo 2004 sedan.
I used a multimeter to test the car radio battery wire ( blue/yellow) when it was disconnected from the car radio, its reading was 0v. ( as shown in photo 1 ) before and after ignition, isn't it...
Hello, my name is Kelvin. I'm a trainee hydraulic engineer in Indonesia. I apologize if this question has been answered before / if this question is too basic. So we have a problem with electric shock coming from an electric panel. This panel runs on 220V AC supply & is used to run an inverter...
Hi, I've got a light with a ceiling rose in the kitchen. While rectifying some faults in the house I came across to the light and measure Neutral to live: 240 volts (which is fine ofc) however when measuring earth to live I'm getting 150 volts. I have checked for any touched wires with my Fluke...
Some months ago the transformer feeding my road had a HV phase loss with the result that my house was only getting about 85V. It was interesting seeing what stuff worked and what didn't: for example, 60W bulbs glowed, fluorescent lights didn't(!), some LED lamps worked, others didn't, and my DAB...
I have a run of conduit 172ft from a 12x12 box which branches out to parking equipment with runs about 50ft from the box. My voltage drop calc requires me to run #10s to the 12x12 box. My question is from that box can I size down to the respected size of wire my machines need (#14awg) to branch...
Hi everyone,
I need some help with an electrical issue I'm experiencing. I recently created a new circuit for an electric oven at my friend's place, and when I returned home, my friend called to say that the two water pipes connected to the boiler were smoking.
When I arrived, I first measured...
I know that after the Henley Block which houses the Service Mains fuse, the Voltage is 230v
If we was to remove the fuse and Measure the incoming Live wire, would the Voltage still be 230v?
Hi chaps,
Been working though the electrical design guide and I'm stumped on reactive power. volt drop and the equations are easy enough but I have no idea where sin phi has come from or how they have calculated it at 0.6.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
So my friend's inverter is not working and fault code says - bus voltage unbalanced. Has anyone come across with something like that?
Inverter is 10 years old and install company doesn't exist anymore.
If we have a single 100V Live coming in from the AC Transformer, at any point we measure its 100V
If however we introduce loops, does this have any effect on voltage?
What would be the voltage reading at the following points on the image
Purple
Pink
Green
Im wondering does it have any...
Hi, We are working on a Solar installation in the UK and have been asked to replace the string cable terminations, 6mm² yellow insulated ring terminals that are bolted to a common busbar. The reason stated is that the insulated terminals are not rated for the string voltages, 1000Vdc STC. Having...
I have undercabinet lights that are low voltage. They work xenon pucks just fine. I want to convert to low voltage LEDS. Supposedly these are 12V DC but when I hook 12V DC LED pucks up, they don't work.
There is a switch to turn these on that is 120 volts. Somewhere buried behind the wall...
A 3 wire cable. Black, red, and white only. No ground. What does it mean when, black to white 0v, black to red 120v, red to white 120v? Thanks, Flatwall.
don’t worry I’m not going to do this ..
If I have a wire that is powering something like a house and lay or wrap another wire around it the wire laid beside it or wrapped around will show a voltage if connected to a test meter .
If I did it to the positive wire prior to the meter in a house I...
Hi All,
Bit of a tricky number. I have recently installed lights / fans /toothbrush chargers and shaver sockets to a bathroom and En-suite. The house had been rewired a few weeks before(not by me). I tied into the existing lighting circuit and everything works fine apart from both extract fans...
Hi Sorry to bring this one up again but have read numerous posts and answers and not got an answer specific to my situation.
I have a Loncin LC3500i inverter generator which my electrician has wired via a transfer switch into a secondary consumer unt which covers the garage and office withing...
Hi, I bought a car battery charger and plugged it on my car battery to test it (normal battery not AGM). my battery was probably already fully charged because I drove with my car just before using the charger. So this happened: the voltage on the charger started at around 12v? (not sure...
