Testing and inspection on am2

[Pete999]

There's no motor fitted, normally just a plate with three test points on so you can do the dead and live tests.

Ah right OK thanks

Great,

Really good advice, much appreciated!
So, you can literally do a global test in the whole board. Once c02, heating etc is isolated.
That saves a lot of time.

Don't know if it's just me but are you thinking of attempting a global IR test from the motor terminals?

 

[Jakegood]

No not at all. From the board

I’m daft, but, not that daft!

Wasn't trying to say that Mate, just sensed some confusion in the post, I couldn't get my head around.

Just wanted clarification on what can be done with IR test and the rcbo. And testing through the motor. My questions have well and truly been answered. As long as I know that it is acceptable to change the rcbo for b32 and fine to ask the examiner to hold the contractor on the motor down or even test from the DB to the DOL then DOL to the motor. Just makes it a lot easier that you can actually perform a global IR test on the installation, rather than I was starting to think of doing each circuit individually.

Might find it difficult to hold the contractor down Jake specially if he is a big bloke I know you meant contactor, just having some fun good luck anyhow

I reckon I could take him!!
Thanks for the replies, real helpful.
Hoping the nerves don’t get the better of me and make some stupid mistakes. Or just go blank.
