    18th Edition exam...Thursday

    Good evening all, Booked in for the 18th edition exam on Thursday morning after completing the online training package with XS training. Been getting 90% plus on the majority of the practice tests and felt pretty confident.......until yesterday when the doubts started to set in. I suppose a...

    Tester probes for use with Wago's

    Thanks for the replies. I did think about grinding down an old probe, nice to know it's how someone else would do it. My voltage indicator does the job perfectly, it's when I come to test using my MFT that the problem starts. Test wise, the most common one is ZS on lighting circuits with...

    Tester probes for use with Wago's

    Hello All, Just wondering which types of tester probes you all use for testing on Wago connectors? The probes on my MFT and multimeter do not fit through the small hole incorporated in the connector for testing. I am using a very fine needle type probe at the moment but would prefer something...

    A bit of levity for a change my collection of one liners.

    My personal favourite: I called the local gym and asked the bloke there if he could teach me to do the splits. He asked "how flexible are you?" I said "I can't do Tuesdays or Thursdays" Tommy Cooper at his best!

    Crabtree RCCB and ZS testing

    I have been reading up on the issue myself and it would appear that the Di-log no trip testers have a bit of a reputation for struggling to read accurate Zs with certain brands of RCD. I have used it over the last few months on Hager and Niglon RCD's with no problem. I also didn't feel...

    Crabtree RCCB and ZS testing

    Right oh, back with a few answers: Telectrix- MFT is a Di-log 9083P and definately doesn't have a high current option. All loop tests are carried out at 15mA. Photo is attached showing the dial and screen when in loop setting. Johnduffell- I have calculated the Zs using Ze+(R1+R2) to ensure...

    Crabtree RCCB and ZS testing

    Thanks you your help, much appreciated. I am not back at that site until later in the week but I will give it a try. Our meter is a Di-log and doesn't have a high current option, will your method still work on low current? Thanks again, Chris

    Crabtree RCCB and ZS testing

    Forgot that bit in my original post, i checked the incoming side in the way you suggest but when I try it for the outgoing side, the RCD trips. ATB Chris

    Crabtree RCCB and ZS testing

    Hello All, After a bit of help regards ZS testing on a Crabtree Starbreaker board. Have replaced 2 lengths of dado trunking in our office block at work and the measured ZS is coming out much higher than the calculated value. Section 1 - calculated 0.5 ohms, measured 1.92 ohms. Section 2 -...

    4mm Radial and re-wire Dillema

    I have found myself in the same situation as you, I am an industrial maintenance engineer in the automotive sector. My brother has bought a new house which needs a full rewire and I feel competent enough to take this on. You will definately need to notify this work to your local council...

    to those of you who number 2 in portaloo

    I was helping my old man board and skim some barn conversions a few years back. The porta loo on site was fixed down to a fairly hefty pallet. If the ground workers spotted anyone using it for a number 2, a bungee strap was fixed around the door and the loo was lifted by forklift and dumped...

    Bosch professional twin pack

    Thanks for all the input so far. I am still trying to decide between the 2, the price is fairly similar for the kit I am looking at. The Milwaukee kit does look a bit more robust but I am sure the same could be said for Bosch. The SDS option also comes in to the equation. I have a corded SDS...

    Bosch professional twin pack

    Thanks for your opinion on the Bosch kit, much appreciate. Been doing a bit more research this morning and noticed some Milwaukee kit at similar prices to the Bosch kit, anybody used both and feel one is better than the other? Thanks and atb Chris

    Bosch professional twin pack

    Good evening all, I have been putting it off for too long but the day really is approaching when I must replace my old faithful Bosch drill and impact driver. Not a lot wrong with the tools themselves but the old ni-cad batteries have had it and I am not prepared to replace them again. Been...

    Submain, RCD protection.

    Thanks to all for your advice and input. All this talk of schemes has got me thinking. It may be worth a go, who knows what the future holds and maintenance in the motor industry isn't exactly secure at the moment. I will definately be looking to do the 2391 this year if a can find a way of...

    Submain, RCD protection.

    SWA all the way it is then, unnecessary joints should be avoided, I appreciate that so will go with the full SWA run. I would happily join a scheme but I dont have 2391 inspection and test which is holding me back. I would love to do the course but working shifts means finding a course...

    Submain, RCD protection.

    Thank you for your input. Using the t&e would just make the internal run a dam sight easier but full run of SWA is more than possible. I am not a member of a scheme, job is part of a full rewire which will be notified to Birmingham council buildings control if they decide my current...

    All RCBO board ..neat install

    Cheers for all the input so far. Had another look at the board this morning and have decided to take Leesparkykent's advice and have bought 75x75mm trunking instead, that should make fitting bushes and locknuts much easier. I also bought a tail gland when I picked the board but I am now...
