    Megger 1kv IR faulty?

    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...

    UK Faulty Megger 1740.

    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...

    Faulty RCD tripping on the button but not via the tester

    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!

    I have a factory fitted rare satnav for an old Honda Prelude with faulty screen. The lights and buttons light up and make noise when pressed but the screen does not come on. Is there a way I can test the screen by providing some direct power to the screen?

    Could the RCD be faulty?

    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...

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.
