    110 V Motor Question

    I think you may have cracked the case Lucien ! Continuity across each pair of terminals on NVR when I press the button so NVR looks ok BUT one wire (the grey one) has no continuity from NVR to white terminal block. The brown and black do. So even though the cable looks pristine there must be a...

    110 V Motor Question

    That run of cable looks perfect. Its only just over 2 feet long and it securely clipped to the frame every 7 inches. So no real opportunity to break I will test by checking the continuity of each wire from NVR output to terminal block. I have a volt stick that glows when it detects power...

    110 V Motor Question

    No power is reaching the terminal block. Which is odd because the other day there was some voltage. Results : 104V into NVR (at +ve and -ve terminals on input side) 104V out of NVR (at +ve and -ve terminals on output side) But nothing reaches the terminal block. No damage in NVR to terminal...

    110 V Motor Question

    Yes the NVR energises and holds. But no hum or any movement. The plant is a plate compactor (wacker plate). Albeit it is 110V (for on site safety - UK law) not 230V - so uses an external transformer (plugged directly into main domestic circuit so no extension cord voltage drops). Distance from...

    110 V Motor Question

    Terminal screw heads were not reliable (no clean contact - dust, age corrosion etc) so to establish the correct reading I cleaned the crimped brass end fittings on each wire with wire wool and then reinserted into terminal block. Then touched the respective ends with thin gold plated probes...

    110 V Motor Question

    Thanks Lucien. I believe the manufacturer of this plant just buys components, namely (1) switch assembly and harness and (2) complete motor from china and just swaps either out if a test rig indicates a fault on either. Manufacturer has requested wiring diagrams from supplier. I chased them on...

    110 V Motor Question

    Just checked the capacitors. The white one is on spec 80 microfarads (spec 80 microfarads) but the black one is 184-187 microfarads which is outside the stated parameters 145-174 microfarads

    110 V Motor Question

    Hello Lucien Nothing happens. No start and no humming. The problem must be the switch, capacitors or motor. Switch energises. No wiring diagram as yet for motor (plant manufacturer is trying to get one) so only basis tests run. By way of explanation, if i take the cover off the motor electrics...

    110 V Motor Question

    Hello everyone, I have a piece of 110V plant that is not working. The wire from plug to NVR had a partial cut (rectified). The NVR energises so assumed good. The motor has what looks like two capacitors (white and black). I am trying to run some basic checks on the windings (resistance) but...

    Time needed to test consumer unit circuits?

    Crikey, why does NOBODY on forums ever answer a simple question? I asked how long to TEST a circuit? Simple enough. After all, "its just wires and stuff". The key word being TEST, so stick a probe wherever you need to and read off the outcome. And have a visual inspection of the socket or switch...

    Time needed to test consumer unit circuits?

    they are not, the water came in through a hole in the ceiling, the metal back boxes and wires are perfect, no corrosion but thanks

    Time needed to test consumer unit circuits?

    is the test visual then or current/resistance based?

    Time needed to test consumer unit circuits?

    water affected kitchen and living room some time ago (now 100% dry), CU isolated. I want power back on so not sure if all circuits need testing because upstairs lights & sockets, garage, etc not affected. so mainly cooker, downstairs lights and sockets, boiler
