Combi Boiler reverse polarity

[lurch]

An analogy,would be if a ball-cock valve,were to be fitted,180 degrees out.

Definitely not having a pop at you,but you wouldn't be the first person to inadvertently place the meter leads in the wrong ports...i've done it,anyway.......so there,I'M Sparticus

You need to have a read of what you have just written dood.

Yep,just done that...

The ball-cock analogy is correct,in as much as more water=open and less water=close,ie; in reverse

There is a nod to good manners,and an admission of a possible misconception,being a shared error,and,including oneself...

Oh,and a small,movie related joke,accepting i have been the first to mention this...

I think your comment is quite rood (see what i did)

Always good to work things out for yourself.

However ......... regardless of leads being reversed as our plumber friend stated he has 230 between neutral and earth . . .

Didnt Mean to offend.

Happy Friday.

Hi fella,i read his readings,and because he was using the wrong device for conclusive proof,had not stated how and where,he applied the probes,and others had already mentioned getting a spark in,i was throwing in a non-confrontational reason,for errant results.

In truth,i just wanted to go round to his job,and see if a 4 week trained meter fitter,had LNLN the meter

Thanks for the reply,if we don't keep the banter up,we might as well be in the Brexit talks

That's just what I told the customer after reading Andy's reply, "call an electrician in to check the rest of the house" to only be told "I'm selling the house next year so I won't bother". Stinjy f**ker, and he's got 3 kids in the house.

To cover yourself put your concerns in writing and keep a copy.
As far as the wiring regulations are concerned this would be classed as ‘potentially dangerous’
