Hi, I have a megger 1741+ that won't perform the 1kv IR test.
Everything else on the tester is good but when I press test with 1kv IR settings it triple beeps, that's with the leads not connected to anything (or connected to a circuit).
Is there an easy fix for this or does it need sending back...
On an EICR today my Megger crackled on a pscc test then started giving a 20ka reading (which giving the EFLI was 0.19 and had a corresponding PEFC seems impossible) and claiming it was overheating. From that point onwards it would no longer perform either a 2 hi or 3 lo loop test and seemed to...
Hi all. Has anybody else had an issue with installing a wall mounted 4" extractor fan, only to find after 9 months the customer has contacted me to say it is now leaking an oily substance down the wall and ruined the paintwork.
I am happy to replace the fan free of charge as it is within the...
Hi
I am asking for help as a novice and 1st time user of this forum.
Recently started to experience tripping of MCB & sometimes with the RCD at random times, intervals can be days after resets or several hours.
Could an appliance or appliances be overloading the circuit?
How can I test an...
What should you do if a client has a CU that is a split board protected by 2 * 63Amp 30mA double pole RCCDs, you took Zs and tested both RCCDs by their buttons before starting work.
But on completion of work, one of the RCCDs, when tested via tester, would not trip, the other operated as expected!

Hi All.
Its been ages since I have been on here- Fortunately log in details stored on PC.
I have just had a new boiler and 210 ltr unvented tank fitted in the loft to replace a very old Baxi back boiler. I have now fitted a Solic 200 diverter to utilise all the spare capacity from the 3,84 Kw...
Hi, I can't get an RCD to switch on at all, even with the main isolator switched off. Is that definitely a faulty RCD or could it be something else?
I have a metal 8-way Cudis CPN consumer unit with two RCDs, one with four MCBs and the other with one MCB. I originally switched the right-hand...
I've recently bought a megger mft1720 second hand but when I have it to the ohms setting the reading continuously bounces up and down even with out leads in any suggestions on why this is happening. It needs calibtiation but I didnt think it would cause that to happen
Hello all,
I'm hoping for some advice with a weird problem. My elderly mother has been complaining of kettles boiling over rather than switching off for the last 18 months, which I've tended to blame on her not closing the lid properly, but have bought her new ones just the same. However, we're...

Having some 1400W 230V heaters to test and repair that have a power trip problem. I've unplugged all the connections and open them up one by one to identify the part that is causing the trips.
Everytime it trips, it trips the whole place through the main circuit breaker. How can I do it safely...
Had a real headache of a fault finding job which has left me scratching my head - RCCB on a split load board, supplying 3 circuits (shower, immersion and downstairs lights) constantly tripping. The frustrating thing about this was while it would sometimes trip within seconds, mostly it would...
I am trying to replace a ceiling rose with a new chandelier. I had all the wiring carefully complete, turned the power back on and...trip! Tried a couple of times and no joy.
