Don't think I've seen this on here already. If it is then sorry for the duplicate.
Fluke have issued a safety notice on the 83, 87 and 88 series DMMs. A fault could result in a false no voltage reading. It was announced back in December but I've only just got to hear about it.
So I'm due to do a job on Wednesday which has now been cancelled. I should be able to get another job arranged by the end of the day, that said I'm tempted to stick in an invoice for maybe half a days labour, just on the principle that I could feasably have nothing else to do on that day and be...
my lights are dimming everytime an appliance turns on in my appartment and the shared area of the basement next to it. my fridge causes a moderate dimming, my stove (not the burners just the oven) cause a very mild (barely noticable) dimming, and my neighbors washers and dryers outside of my...
It feeds an outdoor socket. On the comsumer unit is a 60ma Rcd and everything is covered by this.
I'm just wondering if the 30ma Rcd would trip before the 60ma Rcd trips (if that makes sense)
It's just my mind wondering about stuff, the chap who owns the house said it's never tripped out, yet...

Yeh just been working on the situation at the local Chinese Takeaway, what a difference a day can make. Notice anything unusual mmmm? N.B. It is a work in progress.
I have always been reluctant to post a re-test notice for small works requiring an EIC/DEIC such as a single new circuit. The reason being that IMO a notice implies to the layman that the entire installation has been inspected/tested when in fact only the aspects pertaining to the small...

@Dan
Have you done something to the forum recently?

Been out of the loop for a bit, am I right in assuming that batteries for a domestic self consumption situation are 5%?
Also for off grid systems?
