Insulation resistance test on length of SWA cable

[buzzlightyear]

just watched that buzz. sure i saw you in there

you are being watched .

we already know that there is alien life form on the planet. it goes by the name of "woman", dedicated to destroy mankind. .

Did you try drying the exposed surface of the insulation between the bared ends of the cores and the gland? 10MΩ could just about be caused by condensation.

I think 'vgi' should read Vigi, Schneider's trade mark for their residual current add-on actuator.

I am 100% it is not condensation but thanks for the suggestion I think it has something to do with the metering as it had earth fly leads also although the new panel MCCB board main switch is off the N-E PME connection is made in the cutout.
In my mind, I think it is something to do with this as all three phases are 10M ohms to earth.

I would go with damp in the cable.
Especially if it’s and of reel.

The end was mad off into the individual cores ready to go in the schools old Square D board where the existing is.

Would it not be easier to disconnect all conductors and test the cable without the problems of metering equipment? or is there to much work involved to do this, it would prove the cables integrity throughout wouldn't it?

pete. that's bringing OP down to earth when we just got him lost in space.

Thanks, Pete and Tel There are other parts of the forum its like you have both hijacked the post to talk about something else some people are trying to give a constructive reason. I am all for having a bit of banter but every time I post a thread up on the forum it gets deliberately taken off topic or daft photos.

I knew Anthony would SHOUT at some point - that was true Hijacking!
I agree with Pete and complete disconnection for true reading otherwise you’ll be wasting precious time.

Not true Ant I gave you a perfectly good test procedure, and I don't think anyone has high jacked your post. Least of all me and all the others, just a bit of fun on a Sat morning.

It was only a quick test and did R1 + R2 could not work out why but my gut feeling is the PME and metering. I hope we don't have to fit a lot of these PITA as you have to wire everything for the metering and that even by Schneiders own Tech dept.

It kinda was hijacked by you SciFi weirdos but true, he did have a couple of ideas given. Kirk OUT!

So what was the reason Tel?
