Why (unless a fault is occurring) would it trip? The RCD will sum the three incoming lines and compare it to the outgoing neutral. Same principle as a SP RCD really.
There are people on this thread who are saying that unless a 3PH system is balanced then the RCD will trip. How many of you have...
I disagree with what you say. I believe that they are referring to sites which run 24/7 and cannot be switched off entirely. They are not proposing to measure Ze, but Zs. Measuring Zs will , assuming acceptable results, confirm adequate earthing for protective devices to operate. They mention...
@hoppy Did you try this at any other properties, like your own house? What is the state of the batteries in your tester? Did you try it on 'High'? I have found (on my 1552) that sometimes the No Trip setting constantly stops at 'trp' but then the high current option works without tripping the...
Came across this today. Initially thought it was TN-S then spotted the PME sticker and notice. If the green/yellow earthing conductor coming from the supply head to the MET is joined to the neutral inside the head, why have they left the original braid from the incoming sheath still attached to...
It's too late to cancel the assessment so you might as well go through with it. But do not be surprised if the assessor fails you. If you are really lucky he may ask you to put right certain things and provide proof it has been done. Either way you can expect a lot of questions from the...
Re: best books/reference guides for learning heating control wiring and fault finding
Get yourself on a Honeywell course. They are free (apart from you need time off work that day) and very informative. Check out their website. There is more than one post on this site giving opinions and info...
Took a while to get an answer to my original question, so thank you E54 for your last post! I was hoping someone was going to say that.
I hope to get the opportunity to take my own measurements sometime soon - I hate it when I suspect something is wrong, and cannot rest until i get to the...
