I am considering a leakage clamp meter for use at my house. I am connected to the grid and have a separate solar setup. I live in Thailand where electrical installations aren't perfect. I have the feeling that one of the issues is leakage. So to further analyse I am considering a leakage clamp...
Hi all
I want to get a good and reliable earth leakage clamp meter, been looking at the megger DCM305E which looks good but was wondering what other peoples opinions are? I don’t mind spending the money on a good one rather than getting a cheap one and getting inaccurate readings or no longevity.
Hi all
Suggestions please. I’m working on a 3 phase shop install with a bunch of typical circuits. As each cct is energised the earth leakage rises to around 5 amps! It’s a PME supply via SWA with main earth coming from the armour. I’m pretty sure it’s not the individual ccts or appliances...
Hi all,
There's 2 single fan ovens in the house my mother recently moved into. Posh elecronic AEG units. It's been sat empty for a year, so the oven elements will have had a chance to accumulate some moisture. There's a dual RCD consumer unit, the ovens are on separate RCDs. One of the ovens...
Hi guys I have been instructed to carry out leakage testing on the 3 microwave we have on site as I am the only person on site with 2377 but I'm unsure if the microwave leakage testing req a different qualification as this wasn't on the course or I'm my notes.
any guidance welcome.
I WAS ONCE SHOWN HOW TO CALCULATE INSULATION RESISTANCE USING A CLAMP METER. SO I NEED HELP AS IVE FORGOTTEN. CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THIS FOLLOWING FORMULA 230 + (20X10-6) = 11.5Mohms how have the arrived at this. A clamp meter has been clamped around live and neutral tails at the consumer and...
Hello everyone.
Kenmore undercounter freezer - Model KIF60W4
After smelling something funky, I inspected behind my freezer and discovered rust and signs of a leak above the compressor. I've attached some photos.
To me it looks like a serious fault and I'm swaying towards binning the freezer...
hello.
I'm using leakage clamp meter to investigate nuisance tripping in my house. It is a MULTICOMP PRO MP780050 that I bought early 2021. However, once I bought it the nuisance tripping stopped, so I put it down to damp in garage at the time. This looks just like the Dilog6518 (just without...

I'm new to this but stuck with an issue, so I'm looking for some help wherever possible. I have just completed a rewire, which I have a potential difference of 60v between MET and disconnected mains earth. It's an RCBO board with type 2 SPD. I have fully tested the installation and have greater...
Got a jolt from the metal frame of my 2020 Sony KD-65X9000H TV.
Measuring 120VAC at all times unit is plugged in. Now I know there's often some leakage with double insulated items but I thought that 120v seemed fairly high.
Is that somewhere around the expected amount to leak?
Contacted Sony...
I have been asked to remove a 3 ph rcd from a vehicle entry gate, because they state it has an inverter power supply that can leak up to 160 ma .
this does not seem correct to me and i wonder of the implications of having no rcd if this leakage is to earth on touchable large metal gates.
any...
Hi guys,
I've got a job where I'm installing dado trunking on the floor of an office for sockets and data. Some info on job - In total I will be installing 36 double sockets to supply 40 workstations. Majority of the workstations will be a laptop with dual monitors and phone setup. Some of the...
Hi all,
I can't understand why but I always get a small (minimum 0.06mA) earth leakage reading on extension leads (even without surge protection).
Is this normal?
If it is, please could someone explain how earth leakage occurs on a simple extension lead?
Thanks
I recently borrowed one of these to diagnose an earth leakage problem, and it was very useful: 560 60A Digital Earth Leakage Clamp Meter - https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/4131796-60a-earth-leakage-clamp-meter
Before I go out and buy one for us, I wondered if anybody can recommend...
Morning,
Customer has a intermittent trip which I am trying to locate. 4 circuits on rcd. Two rings , cooker and hob and one I cannot find actually powers anything as yet. Rings test fine and cooker circuit is okay continuity and I/r. I have put my earth leakage clamp on tails and when I go...
Is there any guides on how much earth leakage is acceptable in an industrial setting ie MCC. The reason i ask is it seems to be most sites have a degree of leakage which I’m not sure is due to many VSDs being used but recently a panel I saw had 0.6amps leakage but the motor starter was all good...
With apologies in advance for the newbie question...
I'm using a multimeter to figure out the source of my battery drain, so attempting to measure the leakage current between my battery terminal and its lead. When taking the readings shown below, they are quite steady, but as you can see, on...
