    “Phantom” Short on radial circuit

    Hi, I’ve been recently working on a living trailer for a friend, when they have the supplies connected (240VAC 16A) they have nuisance tripping on the RCD. I’ve traced through and found an outside waterproof socket to be at fault, short circuit between live and earth. Removed the socket and...

    What's your definition of 'ghost voltage' ?

    I don't like the term 'ghost voltage' a.k.a. 'phantom voltage*' much, not least because it's rather loosely defined and probably means different things to different people. I also suspect that quite a few people use the term without really understanding what it is they are referring to. My...

    Odd request regarding phantom voltage!

    Afternoon all... I would like to experience phantom voltage!! Is there any way I can reproduce it so that I can test it? I know this might sound a little silly, and I realise my new Drummond test lamp would simply not light up if it is phantom voltage, but I would just like to see it for...

    Phantom Cooling Fan on Double Oven

    Hi all. Has anyone encountered a double oven cooling fan being turned on by the use of an electric whisk on the same circuit? Sounds bizarre I know but have just discovered the use of the whisk alone turns it on, without the oven even being used beforehand. Could some sort of high frequency...

    The case of the phantom neutral.

    Hello, I have a lighting circuit that works with no neutral. I have removed all the neutrals from the board incase it was a shared neutral, and even went so far as to take the neutral and earth tails out and then turned on the MCB with just that light circuit and it works... Does anyone...
