    What would explain this strange measurement in the kitchen?

    In the breaker box of a 2010 house, there is a distinct 15A breaker for the garburator and distinct 15A breaker for the dishwasher. The garburator is powered only if the garburator breaker is on. But the line to the dishwasher is powered if EITHER the garburator breaker or dishwasher...

    How do you calculate the tollerances from a 3 phase winding measurement

    Assuming that you measure the windings for a power transformer, for example: A-B: 2,258 ohms B-C: 2,262 ohms A-C: 2,250 ohms, how do you calculate the tolerances for these? What formula do you use? You consider as reference the highest or the lowest value from every 2 readings? I just wanna...

    Loop impedance measurement

    Hi, All I have a megger LTW325 and fluke 1664FC to measure loop impedance by using high current mode. But both results are quite different. megger LTW325 is given a value 0.04ohms and fluke 1664fc is given a value 0.12 ohms. Means megger can give a current at 230V/0.04=5750A but fluke is only...

    PFC measurement question

    Hi folks, I'm carrying out an EICR on a 3-Ph board which cannot be isolated fully - only certain circuits at certain times. Supply protected by 3x 88-2 fuses. When carrying out PSCC/PFC, I'm getting a small spark at the probe on the neutral bar/MET intermittently. Can anyone explain this? The...

    Ze measurement with a PV system connected?

    Hi, I’m new to this site and wanted some advice on the following, I have a db with a 4kw PV system feed into it via a 16A cb. Gn3 tells me that a generating set which can feed in in parallel to a dB will effect the ze measurement. How can I carry out the ze, pefc and pssc test with this system...

    Ze at its Maximum Measurement

    If the Ze on a TNS supply is measured at 0.8ohms, is this still acceptable? Technically it is bang on the maximum. DB is 100A Main Switch with 30mA RCBO's on all circuits.

    Earth loop impedance measurement affected by dimmer switch

    Working on a job today which included a very simple new lighting circuit. The lighting circuit a very short run from a distribution board to a single switch position, which then supplies a single luminaire. The customer wanted a dimmer switch to control the fitting. To crack on and perform the...
