Annoying simple circuit

[Ldm]

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 needed please ask.

sorry for the short message but my keyboard is dying.

thank you

I don't think the OP will be back, but if he does:

Are you a trainee or fully qualified? If you are a trainee how come you're doing this work? Daz

Because his boss is maybe a Electrical Trainee and can't do it himself, just a thought

He's just been reading this thread so fingers crossed he fill fill in the "gaps" and then maybe our guidance can be more productive!

I have been replying to people on here but apparently my internet don't want to work.

I am a trainee yes. Domestic installer but training to better myself (currently 2365 level 2 and 3)

all tests did come back as fine and a visual inspection of all sockets shows correct connections. Will start again tomorrow. Thank you to those who helped.

ok well lets move on from here, an r1/r2 will also prove correct polarity as well as contiunity , a 500v insulation test will show any problems with damage cables. So next what were your results.?

This is where my little socket tester would come in handy

I see a problem with that considering the circuit keeps tripping when it's energised ???

 

[dazza1981]

how?

if he has put both browns in N both blues in E and all the cpcs in L

it wont come up on end to end if there is nothing plugged into socket.

the figure of 8 R1+R2 only checks the resistance not if the cables are in the right terminal in the socket

I think you are talking Rollocks !!!!

I think you are talking Rollocks !!!!

Do you think or do you know it ? elaborate please

 

[dazza1981]

Do you think or do you know it ? elaborate please

I know it...... what do you want me to elaborate on exactly ?????

 

[Sparkie30]

I know it...... what do you want me to elaborate on exactly ?????

you said to him that he is talking rollocks about what he was saying. look at post 36

Daz was right. Shanky was talking rollocks. Which bit are you disputing?

 

[dazza1981]

I know what i wrote..... and yes he is talking Rollocks.
I will ask again... what do you want me to elaborate on exactly or do you not understand how to do an R1 + R2 test and the reasons why we do it ????

Evening Trev.... thanks mate and hope your keeping well

 

[trev]

Fine thanks mate. I'm struggling to see what Sparkie30's point is, the full series of tests in their correct order will identify any incorrect terminations as we all know. I think some are forgetting that the result of one test is a by product of another

I agree fully... also shanky is a bright lad and generally right but i think confused himself here. I also want to know what sparkie30 point is ??

confused? doing R1+R2 end to end tests at ccu wont show up if there in the wrong terminal in field with nothing plugged in

if i was doing r1+r2 in the field then of course it would show up but what most people use a quick R1+R2 for is to check continuity of the ring.
