I wondered why N & L3 IR test on generator incoming connections was around 400M but everything else is above 1G. Went to connect a temporary lead to the external box to energize for rest of tests and discovered it was surprisingly damp. This shows the roof of the box!

Not sure where the water is getting in, but trying to at least have a way for it to get out now.

Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

Same reason “dyslexia” is very hard to spell.- the English language is very hard to comprehend sometimes.

Why does "lisp" have an "s"??

Thing is the similar box for the mains incoming supply is completely dry. Also both boxes have some venting in to the main building via the 50mm conduit hole you see the cables going through (ends up in 100x100m trunking, etc) so they are not really sealed.

It is possible it is fixing screws that are not completely sealed, or the door hinges (they bolt on from outside the door gasket). Also the door lip had a slight dent with the seamed are welded but the gasket seem soft enough to compress in to that.

Will see if i can get a pressure washer on site again and strategically soak it to find out!

Why does "lisp" have an "s"??

There’s a PV current monitor just above it so it’s sort of roughed in

They had a CU replacement last year...hob problems, losing supply. 2.5mm to switch, 6.0mm from 32A breaker. This lot, behind, fell apart after ripping the box out of the tiled wall. Then proceeded to drag out a good foot of 6mm.

Oh, by the way, some jerk must have had a clock on me.....so I knocked the egg timer over ?

Exactly.....but those who installed the new CU didn't seem too bothered/interested.

The 50mm earth bond on the incoming water might be a little excessive... ?

2. Only 50mm left in the van
