hi all, i need some help please. i foolishly agreed to help a mate wire a circuit for the new counter in his shop, a few years back. Recently he put a pc on this circuit and when his laminator reaches temperature and switches off, the pc locks up. this sometimes happens when the three striplights in the rear office are turned on/off.
ther electrics are as follows, main fuse into wylex 4 way, 30a 3036 feeds a 10mm t&e into a hager 4 way, 63/30 main switch. from the hager - 1 light circuit to rear office inc. 3 strip lights; 1 ring to rear office and the 4mm radial to the counter on a B16 60898. a radial was fitted so one 45a dp switch could be used to turn all five counter sockets off.
Since the problem started i have added a 10mm earth between the two boards and 4mm cpc on top of the 4mm radial. surge protectors on the pc and laminator, but problem still exists. this is the second pc to be used, the first became unusable as each lock up puts a bad sector on the drive eventually resulting in a bad drive.
the ze of the hager db is 0.24, zs at last socket on radial is 0.74
any thoughts, positive or otherwise, are welcome
thanks
