Hi everone,I am new to the forum and think its brilliant,I am currently
studying for my 2394&2395 and am testing everything in sight with a
fluke 1651 multi functional tester.When i try to do a loop test on a lighting
circuit,I follow all the instuctions,but i keep getting >2000 ohms,i am...
Hi guys. I've recently moved from NAPIT to NICEIC I've just issued a cert. Now the circuit details are as follows.
Lighting, 6amp RCBO
Ze - 0.18
R1&R2 - 0.64
ZS - 0.82
Now by my understanding the max allowed ZS is 6.14 for the type of RCBO so I'm well within the allowed but on the generated...
Hello there, just had a triple light switch fitted but the order of the switches is wrong. The left and centre switches need to be swapped. Can someone please tell me how do I do this?
Picture:
Just been reading about Doody Toody helping Paul M and going to the wrong address, it reminded me of an incident which happened to me when I was working for SWEB in Bath.
We were give jobs via a card, go to stores pick up bits and proceed to job etc etc. Well the job was in John Colliers the...
I've got a shed load of dado trunking to purchase and install on a office refurb that im starting after christmas. Just wondering what people's opinions are on best make for ease of installation, cost etc. I normally use MK but its pricey but I like the way it all goes together, I've also used...
I'm going to post up the worst schedule of test results you will ever see! Build it up bit by bit and discuss the things that are wrong with it. Here is the first part, 3 things wrong on it (apart form the date, thats just me messing about).
Post up what you think is incorrect and why. I'll...
Hi Guys,
Recently got taken down the wrong path on Schneiders product selection on their website, ordered an MCCB 100a TP, easy, or so i thought, fitted new switch and on testing the swith find that i am missing a phase, MCCB has a CT module on the bottom of it which is proved to have voltage...
Hi guys....
Anyone come across this. We did an install for a customer. Original EPC was Band E. However after installing the system it got to Band D.
However the customer sent in the original EPC at Band E. When he sent in the new EPC EON have said its too late and they cannot amend his...
hi ladies and gents
I have opened a ring final circuit to add 3 sockets. All was goin well till I powered it up and it keeps tripping. I have tested and IR comes back fine. continuity also fine, all test readings are fine. the circuit has 9 sockets and has a 32 type c rcbo. any other info...
Hi there
I am after some advice regarding some work being done in my house by a qualified electrcian (qualifications verified). I have had a new 2 storey extension built and the electrician has created a new circuit for both the ligts and power for both of these via a new consumer unit which he...
Hi All
Please correct me if I'm wrong I was thought that an RCD should trip when you come In contact with a live conductor. Now I have had 2 electric shocks in the last 3 months and on both occasions and the RCD did not trip.The RCD was tested and passed.
Any ideas ?
I was wondering if anyone can answer this one for me. I'm an electricians mate, I did ask the guy I'm with but he couldn't give me an answer.
So after he changed the board and I did the bonding I get to go round testing. Whilst taking the zs of the shower I noticed immediately upon removing...
For the eagle eyed out there, can you tell me whats wrong with this arrangement and for a bonus point what reg. no. would apply.
The only bit of info you need is that its a TT system.
Not in any way denigrating anyone's religion, or ethnic background, but saw this on youtube today, your thoughts please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pKzAZc3So8
A friend is installing a new cooker which has a rating of 16a. The old one was off a 13a fused switch wired on the kitchen ring as it was only rated at 10a. Can a 20a double pole switch be fitted in its place?
Just a thought/scenario. Domestic customer contacts you to go and look at a house they have purchased, to do a condition report. This is nothing to do with any Napit/niceic scam, you are just doing it independently. They have already suggested you will be doing any remedial work. Upon...
I’ve found a couple of installations (TNCS) where the location of the MET is not clear.
In both cases, gas/water bonding has been run back to either/or the DNO break-out “MET” or to the Consumer Unit. "There can only be one MET"
The first one I sorted out and created just one MET.
The new...
You have been asked to carry out a full test on a ring final circuit. It is wired in 2.5mm single core cables. (I have made the test result values up to make things easier to work out).
You have confirmed that the ring is continuous, and your r1 value is 0.5 ohm, your rn is 0.5 ohm and your r2...
