Hello - hope someone can advise please.
I have a recently purchased second hand Myford lathe which has a 3-phase inverter (Siemens Micromaster 410)
Lathe all works fine but regularly trips my RCCB 80A 30mA breaker taking out half of the board - usually when first powering on. The inverter is...
Hi I have a 3phase shop in a high humidity area in (Hawaii) and I'm having some issues with low voltage on the single phase outlets on the 120v side.
Every once in a while the electric goes out on the regular outlets but the three phase works perfectly fine.
Usually at night all the outlets...
Hi there, I've got a 3 phase compressor and a small 8500W single and 3 phase generator. My compressor has a large 32amp plug on it but my generator only has a 16amp socket so my question being can I swap the 32amp plug to a 16amp plug?
Sorry if this is a daft question.
Thanks guys 🙂
It's coming out anyway so it's a rhetorical question.
What do you you all think of this?
Bits of wire used to bridge the bus bars and don't single phase consumer units need a linked switched line and neutral?
Hi there
I have not done a huge amount of work on 3phase.

A customer recently lost power to part of their electrical installation. On arrival I found all IEC 60947-3 devices had supposedly tripped - including the main switch rated at In 400A. Excluding the possibility of someone tapering with the board, can anyone think of any other reason why this...
I was speaking to an Electrician a few years back as he was balancing out a 3 phase supply.
To me it sounded like he was trying to get close to each phase supplying roughly the same Kw's to both of the lines/live/hot.
Is this correct, if so how close do you have to be in this balancing stage...
Hi! Currently doing a job that they have decided against getting gas meters and going all electric.
Electric boiler 9.5kw
2x shower 9.5kw
Hob say 6.5kw
2x 32a ringmains
2x 6a lighting circuits
I understand they have had a 13Kva supply installed.
Obviously this will not be enough to run all...

I have a metal lathe, 1.5hp, 3phase, 575v motor. Can I just replace the motor with a single phase,220v motor? Would all the lathe wiring , switches, relays work? IF so, what HP motor should I buy? Thanks,
I'm looking to install a traditional coffee machine which has total power 3300w and the wiring supplied with it is brown L1, black L2, grey L3 & Neutal with earth.
How would this need to wired to operate on a single phase 16Amp supply?
After having a discussion with a colleague earlier today I was wondering what peoples preferred method is when testing prospective fault current on a three phase distribution board.
Do you:
A. Perform a 2 lead test between L1-E, L2-E, L3-E, L1-N, L2-N & L3-N then double the highest value.
Or...
