    Why does a fridge freezer fail an insulation Pat test?

    Hi, I am getting a reading of 0.00MOhm I've never had this before, it's not tripping the rcd. I was wondering if it may be damp but can't see anything obvious. Any ideas please? It's not very old.

    Why did GFCI receptacle fail after one day?

    A 13-year-old GFCI kitchen receptacle went bad, so I replaced it with a new one I bought from Lowe's (Eaton model TWRSGF20).

    Will this fail my AM2?

    Finished my AM2 the other day, pretty confident with most of it except the testing. When I done my live polarity, Ze and PFC tests for some odd reason I kept the padlock on the lock off. So whilst doing the tests I had to faff around getting the probes into the terminals as the pad lock was in...

    Hi A professional electrician installed power to an outside greenhouse about 6-7 years ago. The supply has very recently developed a recent RCD tripping fault. By process of elimination, the overwhelmingly likely place for the fault is a N-E leak in a Prysmian Resin Cable Joints between two SWA...

    lesson on how LED bulbs fail

    This is just a note about LED bulb failure. We had a desk lamp in which the A19 LED bulb would only go on after flipping the switch several times. In fact, once on, it would turn itself off after a few hours and then mysteriously pop back on. Ah, no sweat. Power cord is just not secure. I...
