Hi all,
Got a client with a small barn workshop and caravan powered by a portable 230V 6kW petrol generator. (Loncin 8000D-A) . The original 32A commando lead had a domestic double skt on the end, and theres another lead with a commando socket for the caravan. Theres only one 230v o/p.
He asked me to fit 2 double skts and 2 lights so he can work in the barn, via a modern fusebox. There's also a water borehole pump.
Its not a commercial venture but temporary whilst he wants to eventually build a permanent dwelling on the site, also powered by a larger generator. Give him credit, he wants it all done proper with test certificate..
Wired that up for him with an rcd main switch db, 20A mcb for the 2 d/skts and a 6A for lights but then realised it doesnt use terra firma as an earth so cant do Zs and rcd tests, altho the rcd test button works.. Looked up the on site guide and realised it must be a floating earth type of jenny.
All dead testing is ok ..
So whats the situation with the live testing and certificate then for this temp set up?
Thanks in advance..
