but must be labelled . ie fridge freezer
Next time i need to add some sockets to a bedroom I'm gonna use the immersion heater radial PMSL :freak:
L-N?...are you sure?...Yeah disconnect the element from the supply and try IR between L-N and N-E if eaither are short theb that's mostly your problem. You'll get dead shhort between L-N but you knew that anyway
L-N?...are you sure?...
why not.....has solved a load of faults on BS3036s has that in the past....:joker:i have an old washing machine that keeps blowing the fuse in the plug can i exchange it for a bit of welding rod or a nail..?
agreed Archy......you took the cash.....now its see it through....The big mistake this chap has made is...
he's spotted the place is a complete hell hole in the 1st place and he's taken the job on....
Too late whinging now
you know....i`v just read through some of this......and its farcical...i tell you it really is....
well the thing is king....its just so ridiculous not to be a winder upper this is...i can sypathise with the fact that alot of houses are complete hell holes dirty and smelly etc,i personaly would not want to spend too much time in them,but i beleive you have a moral and legal requirement that when testing needs doing you do it! A basic IR test checks the original wirring before work is undertaken and afterwards checks what you have done.cheers tony for mentioning rcd's are not compulsery but as he knows it is unlikely that in a domestic enviroment we can get away with non rcd or rcbo protection:smart:
