    Question regarding Continuity of Ring Final circuit.

    Can we carry out the continuity test for the ring final by connecting the line, neutral, and cpc end to end at any socket or do we have to identify and disconnect the conductors at the C/U? I am aksing as i think it is much easier to link the line, neutral, and cpc end to end at any socket...

    Two parallel RCDs flick off at the same time - earth capacitance - any pointers?

    I need to rectify a fault where an outside SPA hot tub is supplied through a length of 3 or 4 meters of buried armoured (shielded) cable and – when the MCB is closed – after 10 seconds the 30mA type A RCD above this MCB opens – and so does another in parallel with this on a separate UK style CU...

    Series and Parallel

    Hi everyone, first of all great site with some real great answers on here. I have a question which might sound silly but can't get my head around it. Series and parallel. Can anyone give me a practical real world example of the two? I've got my 2391 next month and I really don't understand what...

    SOLVED: 2392 Question Parallel Insulation Resistance

    The insulation resistance of two circuits is of 40M and 36M respectively. When tested together what would be approximately the total insulation resistance: A: 1440M B: 76M C: 19M D: 4M I don't know the answer, so how do you figure this out? :rolleyes2:

    Cables in parallel

    Hi all, brilliant forum and loads of useful and interesting information. An example question wrt cables in parallel: If you happened across an installation with a 10mm earth cable and wanted to uprate it to 16mm; what is to stop you placing another 10mm in parallel, all marked up with 'safety...

    Continuity of ring final circuit conductors

    Why is it when you cross connect the conductors at each leg and then test continuity, the result is one quarter of the combined resistances of the legs? I am usually pretty good at seeing how/why calculations work out, but just cannot in this case get my head around why the value measured is a...

    Battery bank question

    Hi there, my local solar installer tells me that I should not have more than 3 strings connected in parallel for my 24v battery bank.... is this correct? what could be the problem if I have series of 2 batteries x 6 strings in parallel? thanks.

    Parallel Conductors.

    Going slightly off piste on my D&V Project again. I'm thinking of running parallel conductors for an electric gate supply 'just to learn about it'. After reading the BGB it seems quite simple, in that the sum of two smaller cables will be the Iz of the circuit as long as the cables are roughly...

    Wiring in downlights - do they have to be in parallel??

    Hi I have 9 downlights to wire up. They are positioned around an exisiting celing rose lamp at the centre. They are double earthed so I assume I dont need an earth for them. next question is can i wire them up as below where 0 is the downlights and the rest is 1mm cable. The red downlight is...

    two inverters connected separate or parallel

    I have two inverters wired to two strings. Do I need two separate wires from each inverter to an individual mcb. Or can I dual up the supply so only using 1 isolator at the generation meter end. I will still have 2 isolators in the loft adjacent each inverter. Or is it best practice to run 2...
