Can anyone tl ell me how to work out the size of an existing supply cable.
It is a three phase supply into 200A fuses. The cable is buried in concrete ground and so I cannot see any markings on it.
I've had a look at the cables upstream of the fuses and they look to be at least twice as larg as...
Hi all wondering if you could help clear something up for me. I was recently working on a three phase motor rated for 480volts a.c and wired in delta. So before powering up I done my dead testing and done my insulation resistance test at 500volts d.c which I thought was correct but read up on it...
We have been involved in the installation of a dust extraction system which is powered by a fairly large 3 phase motor (18A).
The motor was pre-wire to a control box on the side of the extraction housing and the star/delta starter was also pre-wired. The only wiring that was required was the 2...
Starting a solar three phase project, how do you connect the generation meter from 8 three phase inverters, or will each inverter have it's own g meter? Appreciate a response
I have a domestic premises (it was once a shop) that has a three phase supply, although only one is being used now. I am using a di-log 9083P tester, and when doing a Ze test am getting 23KA as the reading for PSC, with 0.01 ohms as the loop resistance. I am getting a Ze of 0.35 ohms and a PFC...
We run a small meditation centre. One building is economy 7 and the other ordinary supply.
We had to change to a three phase supply and one cut out point was installed.
We are told we can only have one meter on it and therefore we lose our ability to have economy 7.
Can the ryefield box be used...

Hello!!
I need to install a 3 phase appliance (3x4kw) but there is only 2 phases in to the property so I was wondering if I could use a converter for that?
I have never used one before, only heard about them, could they handle the load? are they reliable? who sells them? etc etc I really...
Hi gents
Just wondering if anyone can advise me on my working out.
Have been asked to advise on supply conductor csa for a sub distribution supply. The power requirements are 10kVA 400V supply.
I'm used to working with kW power just not sure on kVA - Amps formula which I have used below: -
I...
Just after people's opinions seen this a few times and although not incorrect still makes me think:
Three phase board 8-12 ways usually linked out to run on a single 230V supply.
Seen second hand boards converted using bus bar to make in affect a 36 way single phase board.
Always have been...
Hi
Just did a three phase consumer unit, tested insulation and continuity before commission tested three phase in correct order. When I switched on it sparked and took out l1 and l2 fuse, incomer has two faulty lock screws at top apart from that any other ideas ?
Hi guys, as the title suggests just trying to get my head round three phase sequence testing, if I understand it correctly this is confirm that the three phases are in sequence.....obviously :)
Now as I understand it this is obviously a live test and a three test leads are connected to L1 L2 L3...
Hi guys,
Just finished a job installing communal lighting and power in 7 blocks of flats,
The supply for each building is the same a TNS 3 phase cutout with a feed jumped off one of the phases to the meter and from the meter supplying our single phase CU, the flats are then jumped off various...
Good evening,
I had to troubleshoot a three phase milling machine earlier. I'm not especially hot of plant like this, but i'm quite confident that the control system is good, but that the motor is faulty, In that when power is applied it pulls the breaker.
It's a 1HP 3 phase motor,drawing...
Hi all, I'm new here so :flowers:
I have a small industrial unit with three phase and single phase installed. The single is obviously for lights, standard sockets, phone, computer etc and is working perfectly.
The three phase supplies a tyre changer (10A breaker) and an air compressor (20A...
