    Insulation resistance results weird on actuator circuits

    Interested in people's thoughts/experience here. I've just been testing out the insulation resistance on a 20 year old surface water pollution control facility. It has a large number of penstocks with Auma actuators. Here's the puzzle: on a few of them, the resistance - although passable - is...

    Two Pages for circuit details and test results

    Why is there now two pages, one for "GENERIC SCHEDULE OF CIRCUIT DETAILS" and one for "GENERIC SCHEDULE OF TEST RESULTS" before it was all on the same page GENERIC SCHEDULE OF TEST RESULTS", which had "CIRCUIT DETAILS", on it, this means writing the cicuits twice?

    Zs values recorded results.

    Evening everyone, I was taught when carrying out Zs testing to test both L-PE and L-N and record the highest result of the two tests for my Zs column. However, speaking with a friend he informed me that this is wrong as Zs = Ze + (R1+R2) and not (R1 + RN) which is right and never crossed my...

When filling out a EIC for a new circuit am I required to test all the other circuits in the board as part of the schedule of test results or only circuits I have installed/altered when completing?

    UK What’s the correct way to enter RCD’s on a split load board on a schedule of test results?

    Would entering each RCD as a line on the schedule of test results be correct? If so, what would be entered in boxes such as Zs?

    UK Different test results after DB change

    Is it common to get different test results when upgrading a db? Basically I done an EICR in November and came back to upgrade the db and done live tests on all the circuits, but my results were quite different. Like 0.30 ohms out on one circuit

    What are the dangers of poor insulation resistance results between neutral and earth?

    What are the dangers of poor insulation resistance results (i.e <1Mohm) between neutral and earth? If all other tests are ok, what are the dangers of the above? My thoughts are it may indicate a breakdown of the insulation somewhere. However, what are the dangers of this breakdown between...

    EICR test results

    I have reason to doubt that any inspection or testing was done before an EICR was issued. The test results on the EICR are identical to those on an EIC issued a year previously. Is this likely, or would you expect some values to differ slightly? Many thanks.

    EICR test results schedule

    This is slightly pedantic, so right up my street. I'm filling out an EICR. The sockets are wired in 2.5 (apart from some in the kitchen that have been wired in 1mm 3 core and earth. Don't ask...) with a 30 amp 3036 as ocpd. Forgetting the obvious C2's, the question I have is regarding the...

    Type 'A' RCD test results

    I just installed my first type 'A' RCD. When I tested it, I was amazed by the disconnection time. It was 148ms @ 1IΔn. Okay this is less than the required 300ms, and I know I take the 5IΔn for the report, but even so, this seems high to me. Is this correct for Type A RCD, they are slower to...
