Don,t trust those volt sticks in my opinion mate, them who checks and checks again live to test another day my freind, get a proper martindale tester could prove a very good buy for you .
A neutral is classed as a phase conductor, never take things for granted, you CAN get feed backs if the con/unit is incorrectly wired.
Neutral is a" live" conductor, not "phase", small terminology point, but one not to mess up in an exam. Even though neutral is connected to the center of the transformer and usually does not rise above earth potential, under fault conditions (or incorrectly wired) could become live................better safe than sorry, dont assume and treat as live as the phase.
Definately learn all about safe isolation, it will keep you alive. Dont take anyones word that something is dead, always check yourself............... After all its your fingers going in there!!!
A stupid question is the one you don't ask..........
Corrected, graham, wrong terminology boys,
Now you see what 2391 does to ya Cant keep my mouth shut now.
Walked into a local estate agent touting for inspection work, and just inside the front door within arms reach is a 10way CU.........bottom half broken off and no cover on the Line busbar!!!!!
as for should i be working on electrics yet...we all got to start somewere i pulled the lighting circuit fuse out becuse the property was tenanted and the customers need the juice to be on i'm not a totally novice and i just follow what ive been shown..the spark who i was with never mentioned the neutral was fused and lookin at the board it was all over the place it had no earth in the property it was that old..the cable was a black colour looked like some sort of lead cable but thats a guess..it just perished in my hand...
i was working in a propery last week...a diyer had decided it would be fitting to wire his new shower to the back of a plug.....and the in his cu were the rewirable fuse was suppose to be a piece of copper pipe....what can u say to that....
