Hi
Hope anyone can help
Can someone give me advice on how to connect up a 3 phase to 13amp adaptor lead for carrying out PAT testing on 3 phase equipment but using a 13amp port on the PAT tester. Need to know the connections for
4 pin 3phase & earth plug to 13amp plug
5 pin 3phase &...

ive got a single phase AC fan motor running normally however occasionally on start up it starts in reverse. i have 4 no fans, and this is happening to 2 occasionally. now these are in a fresh air chambers and i was starting to think that the airs blowing over the fans causing reverse...
Hi there, new to the forum and in final stages of completing C&G level 3; need to complete design project to complete. Am struggling to get my head around how to draw up correct circuit diagram showing EF Loop path for EV charger where initial supply is described as 'three phase TNCS' feeding to...
About to re sit testing section of am2. Am I required to test phase rotation at the incoming switch and also the 3 phase socket and motor. Just can't seem to find any clear instructions on what they expect on this test
Hi , I have a customer that has purchased a machine from Turkey. The machine requires 3 phase 330 volts at 50 hertz. I have access to 3 phase 460 at 60 hertz here at the plant in the US. I can find a transformer for the voltage but that doesn't change it from 60 hz to 50 hz. Im looking at 90...
Hi all, new to this thread and just looking for some views.
I have today attended a industrial unit which is being converted into small individual offices. An electrician has previously been here and has taken 3 individual sub mains from the existing three phase consumer unit to single consumer...
Hi, morning EF.
I was looking at a single phase motor yesterday attached to hydraulic pump for cardboard bailing machine that seems to be temerpemental with stop and starting and making humming sound.
I checked the contactor was working first and voltage was going to motor, I clamped the cable...
Hi All
I’m in a bit of a quandary at work and need a couple of things clearing up if poss. I’m the maintenance manager/spark/fitter/skivvy/everything else that needs doing man 🙄 in a plastics factory and I’ve got to provide a supply for a new machine.
The current set up is a 90mm SWA protected...
Have any of yous fitted the proteus 4 way 3 phase DB? The horizontal one. The din rail I got with it was very narrow, only the top off of the RCBO clipped onto it. Anyone else had this?
I have some questions about 3 phase.
1. Does the neutral come in with the supply as standard?
2. As most 3 phase equipment doesn't require an N, what are the circumstances where you need one?
3. When we do need one, why do we need one?
4. Am i right in presuming therefore that we'd mostly use...
Hi we have a split phase supply and had a EDMI ES-30B 3 phase meter fitted.
Our readings are extraordinarily high. It is an old farmhouse but there is just myself and my wife and we are using 29,565 kWh per year. 81 kWh per day. We just have an electric shower, electric cooker, appliance like...
Hi guys,
We're starting a build in Queensland of an all electric house and will have some pretty large loads so we're hooking up a 3-phase supply. Some of the large loads include a 22kW 3 phase electric vehicle charger, 3 phase ducted A/C, heat pump pool heater, heat pump HWS, induction cooktop...
Evening everybody.
It’s been a while since I’ve asked for the collective brains advice but this one has really got me stumped.
I’ve been asked to install a twin outlet 22kW EV charger at an office. Unfortunately the office is an old doctors surgery (3 storey ex-house, basement , pitched roof...
A bit of an embarrassing question.
I have a regular customer who I enjoy working for. He has asked me to install an EV rapid charger for his avant loader (electric tractor type thing). I always turn down 3 phase jobs as I don't feel I understand it fully, but I'd like to do this job.
I believe...
Hi guys, if a 3 phase board is to be installed, with 250A mains. With 8 32A 3 phase sockets, 8 single phase 16A sockets, 2 light circuits and 3 phase 63A socket on it, that exceeds the 250A. I understand you would have to consider diversity factor etc into it but is that still too much or would...
can I use the above isolator switch with single phase 240V wiring. live neutral and earth?
its the right designed switch for me and also it is the right current rating.
I am unable to take global IR readings on a 3 phase consumer unit, i have disconnected the neutral but when i try to measure the meter never settles and eventually times out.
i have tried 2 meter/s with same results
I have a single phase system that uses 320 amps and 240 volts and I rewire the circuits for 3 phase what size generator would I need and how many amps on each leg
Moved into remote residential site in USA , devestated 3 years ago by tornado that took house, family and all buildings, poles etc. except well building and barn (where I am living for now) only remaining service is a 3 phase that went to well. For about 6-10 months I need to survive here till I...
