Guess the Fault???

[Darkwood]

I missed explaining the full test sequence to get to the relevent by this point id already disconnected the suspect feed cable and did all relevent tests on it and it really was the fact that turning the supply mcb off still left 230v N/E at DB3..... was quite a relief when my next breakdown was a drive or encoder fault

if that had hgappened to me i would of thought polarity was wrong

All was checked 3ph genny up to DB2 and with DB3 breaker on the L1 became live 230v to earth and 0v L/N in DB3 so couldn't be polarity they were both at the same potential on same phase but i doubt il ever see this fault again but it been 20 odd yrs in the waiting

Told you before Geordie you may be of scottish descent so come on ower the dyke neebs. ya ken ya wanna

I have to say that when I was working in the Rock & Roll business and latterly in Exhibition Contracting I did enjoy working "over the border". It was guaranteed to be well looked after & to have a great time. One of my fondest memories was working with the crew at the Glasgow Theatre Royal & the party that followed. :17::54:

Great lads the Jocks ...... I'd rather work with them than Mackems any day. :wink_smile:
