    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    Something you may find interesting is that, sporadically, my meter would jump to a DC voltage and show a negative result of around minus 35v just for the slightest of seconds then go back to it's original 49v. At this point my head fell off! :D Although I have 25 years in the game, this one...

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    There was no difference whatsoever in this case bud.

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    I have come to the same conclusion after exhausting all other avenues. I have my NICEIC inspection coming up in the next 2 weeks and will be using this property as one of my examples which is why I have gone a bit overboard on it. All I have really achieved is plenty of wasted time and lots of...

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    Could it possibly be a faulty switch?

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    Ok so this gets more and more confusing. I am back on site and have identified the offending lighting circuit which is now showing 49v between switched line and CPC when switched off. I have split the circuit in half so only 2 Greg roses are powered. All loads removed. The hallway light...

    Thanks for this very helpful information! :)

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    Hi Dave. Can you explain to me what capacitive coupling is? Is it an electromagnetic effect? I'm using my Megger MFT on its voltage setting. I only saw it by chance whilst double checking the switch wiring was correctly terminated. I then freaked out a bit as it is a brand new system. :D

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    I'm relieved really that you don't seem to think of it as something to be concerned about! :) I hate little issues like this as it can plant a seed of doubt in your mind regardless of your level of experience! I delayed messaging on here as I assumed I would be ridiculed for not knowing what...

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    The slight twisting motion of installing the greg rose may play a part here but I am quite certain on my connections. I'm going back on Thursday so I think I will have to go back to basics and start from scratch by splitting the circuit down bit by bit.

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    Could there be an ever so slightly loose connection at one of the greg roses that I've missed maybe?? Loose CPC maybe?

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    All IR testing comes back ok and, because I can easily remove loads, I can happily test between live conductors too which further confirms the solidity of the results. There are no anomalies with the lighting at all (all LED) and this does not seem to be affecting the standard lighting. Agree...

    20 Volt oddity at recent rewire

    Hi all, I have an unusual issue with a recent rewire I have just completed which I hope you guys can assist with. For background, this is a complete strip out and rewire of a domestic property (bungalow) with an unusual but appropriate reference method. For this rewire, due to the fact that it...

    UK Client wants a battery back up

    Hi Eddy, I have discussed with them at length about the loss of power/data but according to them, when they lose power, they keep their mobile signal so I just have to go with what they say really. I'm currently looking into the "SunSynk" range of battery systems of which there are quite a...

    UK Client wants a battery back up

    Hi all, I have a regular client who has asked for a battery back up system to be installed at their home. They live in a rural location on a single phase PME supply with a 100A fuse and run a business (internet based) from there too. They suffer from regular power cuts which affect the day to...

    Legrand Tenby compatibility

    Hi all, Just a quick one really. Can anyone either confirm or deny if the new Legrand DX-3 Style MCB/RCBO's will fit the old Tenby Consumer Units of old. I would rather not have to change an entire Consumer Unit when a simple RCBO in place of a few MCB's will do the job. Hopefully the answer...

    Anybody using Job Management Software?

    Of course, it has it's limitations, they all do in some way shape or form but I found it to be the best out of the current crop of job management software packages at that price bracket. I've already submitted a few support tickets/requests to better the software which I'm hoping they...

    Anybody using Job Management Software?

    I respect that and if it works for you then I guess that's all that matters but how are you keeping track of all the paperwork? E.I.C's. M.E.I.WC's, Part P Notifications, Invoices, Receipts, Quotes/Estimates/Variations, RAMS the list goes on and on..... The software I have chosen allows me to...

    Anybody using Job Management Software?

    Of course, I'm currently using software called Fergus. This software is the most user friendly and feature packed for it's price amongst the others I've tried. It takes some getting used to but if you stick with it, you'll be up and running in no time. One thing I will mention though, it has a...

    Anybody using Job Management Software?

    Hi, Yeah, Xero is great accounting software but, as far as I'm aware, that's all it is good for really, accounting. Your question about keeping on top of where a job is up to is the reason I started this post really. I was really struggling to get to grips with not only where my jobs are...
