    How is it possible for a GFCI cord to fail in one outlet but not another?

    I have an outdoor electrical subpanel with a nearby outlet. We've plugged an extension cord with a built-in GFCI into it , but the GFCI trips every time, with any device plugged in. When we plug the same GFCI/device into a different outlet near the house, it works fine. We've replaced the...

    Can a difference in phase voltages cause a motor to fail?

    Here is the background: A new Grundfos 3 phase sump pump was installed in a bore hole to pump groundwater to a holding tank. After 6 weeks the motor failed, the installer measured the voltage of the 3 phases which at the time were P1-237v P2-250v P3-233v and suggested this was the likely cause...

    Advice on EICR fail

    The buyers of our flat (upper floor of a two flat building) have just had an EICR done and it has flagged a number of C1’s and C2’s. I was hoping someone might be able to give a second opinion as to whether the C1’s listed are reasonable (ie should they be C1’s). I’m no expert (at all) and if...

    Insulation LN Test Fail through cooker isolator

    As it says really. When testing LE or NE resistance > 300M ohms but between L and N I was getting a reading of about 0.2M ohms. Could it be the BG cooker switch that has two neon lights that is the problem? If it is, after shoving 500V dc through them, should I replace this erstwhile brand new...

    Security Light Component Fail

    Hi - today I was called to take down a 50W motion detecting security light that was always on. Rather than just bin it, I’ve cut the sensor open and found the charred remains of some-component-or-other in it. A smoking gun, you might say. What do you think the toasted component was? It might’ve...

    Hi all, Does anyone know of a training provider who concentrates solely on what's in section b?? We have a guy on our firm who does all out test and inspects and doesn't explain anything and college is more concerned about getting bods enrolling than actually training them.
