    Earth Leakage Question

    Can somebody offer an opinion on this guys? TNCS, earth leakage clampmeter on the main earthing conductor from service head to the MET reads 67mA when the main DP switch is off, am i picking this current up from the combined Earth/Neutral in the head?, it cant be an installation leak as the...

    Earth Leakage Query.

    might be having a blonde moment here, but.... if an installation has earth leakage, could this be measured with an earth leakage clamp meter on the main earthing conductor and/or the main bonding conductors as logically, if there is leakage , you would expect the current to travel to earth...

    Earth leakage trip minor works

    Hi Looking at a minor works job in a flat, board which isn't split has a BS4293 RCCB as a main switch fed from an Earth leakage trip. I know both are obsolete and the SSC for the RCCB is 1500A. Am I right saying I can't just remove the earth leakage trip and replace the RCCB with a BS61008 as...

    what causes earth leakage?

    testing a house today before I put RCD protection on it and i got 300mA earth leakage. appox 100mA from the sockets, 180mA on the downstairs lighting circuit, then 20 odd mA accross the rest of the circuits. I had a poke around the downstairs lighting circuit, couldn't see anything obvious, did...

    How to test earth leakage

    I am not an electrician but would nevertheless understand what the normal procedure is to test earth leakage / isolate an earth leakage problem. One way is to switch all the switches off at the main DB board, switch them on one by one and see which one triggers the earth leakage circuit...

    Earth Leakage Issue?

    Changed a CU about a month ago to a dual RCD but it keeps having intermittent tripping on the 2nd RCD, before changing it i did a full test and all IR was very good @ >999Mohm range no faults found. I tested the leakage with my clamp meter and recorded a value of 34mA at the incoming tails...

    insulation resistance test on equipment with high earth leakage

    Hi guys. This is to do with Periodic Inspections. When you are testing a circuit and forget to unplug a piece of equipment that has a high earth leakage could this be damaged doing the ins res test between live and earth. I do not know electronics but is there a connection to earth. The problem...

    Earth leakage measurement

    Would someone please remind me how I can do this again? I know if I clamp the neutral only it will give me a reading stating how out of balance the phases are but do I clamp neutral and earth together at the same time to obtain earth leakage current?
