    Fridge fan motor windings

    Hope this is the right location to post. I asked my friend to give me the motor that he replaced for his fridge. I checked the 2 terminals with an ohm meter and it showed 470k Ohm. I then used a megger between the same two terminals at 500V and it showed 0.02M Ohm and 20V (short?) Could...

    Link between one light fitting and socket circuit?

    Hi, I changed a CU this morning, old 3036 for split board. I had tested it prior, IR etc, few Zs readings and the like, continuity of rings etc, nothing abnormal, even checked for borrowed neutral on light circuit which there was. Anyway, changed it this morning, put lights on one rcd and the...

    Small voltage from neutral to earth on TT system

    I'm building a house in Azerbaijan, with 3 phase mains supply and TT earthing. The main transformer is at least 800m from my house. Whilst doing my final measurements before going live, I noticed a small voltage between neutral and earth. It varies between 2-4V and seems to be AC. It isn't a...

    Puzzled

    Had a really weird situation today. Having installed all the wiring and new consumer unit for a full rewire, I today came to test the last circuit which was the downstairs lights. Tested continuity which was fine as was insulation resistance, upon testing for loop impedance, I got a low voltage...

    Difference between Drivers and PSUs??

    Whatbos the difference between an LED 'driver' and a 'PSU'? I have been steered towards some divers to power some 3w 3v 900mA Cree LEDs (link below) but they still require the equivalent power input from a PSU. So what does the driver actually do...

    odd "earth" cable between 2 PME heads

    I have some works at a small flat (4 properties). PME. Service head has been doubled up by DNO, so that supply cable for the second head exits the bottom and feeds the second. I find a 6mm green/yellow conductor strung between the PME break-outs of the two heads. It looks like the unusual work...

    is it a requirement to have a isolator between the supply meter and the fuse board

    Elo, Can anyone help me with some advice please. If an installation has no isolator between the supply meter is they a requirement to upgrade it when doing a PIR, if so what code would it be marked down on the PIR as in both domestic or commercial installations?

    10 metres between the meter and the CU?

    I'm looking at a situation where the overhead supply arrives at one corner of the house and the meter/cu are in the exact opposite corner. Because of the location that can't be changed, Western Power have confirmed. So at the moment there are two cables that run all round two walls of the...
