strange goings-on or it might be me, this is what happens;
• 3 lead loop test on final circuit = rcd trip
• 3 lead loop test at board, outgoing side of rcd, all circuits off = rcd trip
• 3 lead loop test at incoming side = rcd trip
• rcd test at outgoing side= X.5 no trip X1 45ms X5 29ms...
Hi everybody!
We are selling used Standard 1600A Mains Distribution Assembly
In order to maximise the flexibility of standard high current MDAs, the incoming and outgoing
MCCBs incorporate electronic trips, which can be easily adjusted on site from 40% to 100% of the nominal
rating. The...
I'd like to test, my house.
Pictured, is the DNO main earth in my house.
If I find the braiding is detriorated in anyway,
1. Can I replace with a 16mm earthing conductor ?
2. Or do I have to call the DNO ?
3. Should I just leave as is ?
4. What test could I do to prove it fit for purpose, or...

Hi guys
I've just started my 2330 level 3 and I'm on the testing of continuity of ring final circuits. I have a question I hope someone can clear up for me please if possible??
When cross connecting L1-N2 and L2-N1 in choc block and testing how do I know or find out if wires are right way...
Just installing a new consumer unit for a customer. Split load board with 1 half RCD & the other half RCBO's. RCD & all but 1 RCBO has had good trip times, all sub 40ms at 1In & 5In, but the 6A RCBO for the kitchen lighting circuit is tripping at 40.8ms & 40.7ms at 5In. If I disconnect the...

Excuse me if this is in the wrong spot of the forum.
Recently all the wires from what I think is called a 'junction box' were torn out of it. The junction box is found near the door and contains wires going in and out.
I have tried putting all the wires back in under the screws and tightening...
just a quick question I want to clear up, basically when testing a ring circuit, why is it that the ohm values slightly increase per reading, and highest at the centre point?
and by how much does the resistance increase when a cable is connected, say with a terminal block. apposed to say a...
