You are exactly right, the reading I got was >0.00 megaohms L/N to cpc. I didnt investigate further as to how long the reading actually was.
The odd thing is that the low reading is only when the other 2 lines are connected, disconnect all 3 lines and the line from the JB is over range on the...
Yes i agree. This is why I'm confused. Theoretically a dead short should operate the mcb, unless I'm reading through something.
I'm using a metrel MI3000 for I/R testing.
I cant remember the exact voltage at the JB but it was within nominal voltage. Nothing unusual about the voltage.
I cant...
I suspected the same. When I disc the conductors from the DB the I/R readings were over range so I know the 3 conductors from the JB to the DB are fine.
Disc the other 2 lines and neutrals and I get dead short on the 3 conductors at the JB, disc them from the DB and the tester wont test the 3...
A while back a had an issue with a commercial install I had done for a family members unit
Long story short, 5x50w led floods controlled by 4 robus PIR detectors. Also a 3 way switch for option to turn off, perm on and PIR sensors.
I tested the circuit prior to any work and all the readings...
Thanks for the reply. What they did in the end was sleeve the joints and concrete over. Tbe building inspector said it was satisfactory so I cant really say much else
Because I made the assumption the OP was replacing or repairing lights and after the works was complete the lights would need to be working. But that was an assumption. Until we know exactly what work is being carried out we have no way of knowing how important the tripped breaker could be. It...
I understood the lighting the OP wants to work on is being supplied via this property that he has no access too?
If that is the case, my point stands, if he attempts the work and trips the breaker then how will he re energise?
I really wish I could bring myself to watch his videos. It's just his voice and demeanor. I cant stomach it. Droany voice and smug face.
I'm sure he is a lovely guy and a quality sparks but he dont hold my attention
Builders broke ground today with the digger down the side of the house. They busted a lead water pipe which runs down the side of the house.
Houses are fed in bunches of 5 from the street. That means me and 4 other houses share the same stop tap.
Builders repaired the T joint and replaced...
