Hi, I've got a practical exam for testing and inspecting later this week. I've researched the net and these forums and there is some good info just need to get some things clear in my head so I'm certain about the testing for the motor circuit. Its single phase and the circuit goes as follows...
Hi guys,
been to a fault today where customer is saying they have no power to 6 sockets but all other points ok (all power on one ring main)
when I arrived I checked for power with my martindale and got a L-E reverse symbol at the six points. I then checked voltage at the sockets and got 230v...
Ok so you have the classic to cables in back of socket. Spurs should be identifiable through higher resistance but if very short spurs and it's an older install and you want to break into the ring to add another socket. You could be creating a spur off spur off spur?
How do u go about being...
Hi guys, first time I have posted on the site so looking forward to hearing from you all. I am carrying out a kitchen refit and while testing the ring circuit I have come across a lack of continuity on the CPC circuit. I have carried out testing using the two ends and a R2 wander lead and have...

HI all
I know neutral faults can be hard to find, different techniques are aways good to learn.
I went to a clients house to fix a faults and look at the ability of the house to accept a new modern board. They almost drilled though a cable stopping before they went thought the whole cable.
I...
Hi All,
We have recently purchased a Metrel 3101At euro test pro kit and so far so good we are very happy with the test unit, however we are unable to find a way of switching on a buzzer in the continuity test setting. Does anyone know if the tester has this option and if so how to switch it on...
1720s across the company have developed ****loads of continuity issues over the last couple of years, mine (6-8 months old) has started recently, continuity jumping all over the place etc.
Now, mine was functioning perfectly on a job a couple of days ago, in a sheltered place which was like a...

Hi all, having a bit of an issue with the above meter. I have owned it for about a year now and have recently noticed I am getting a reading a reading of around 9 ohms between the leads. As far as I'm aware there is no way of nulling the leads but I might be missing something? I don't use it for...
Good day,
Just a quick one, on testing a ring main continuity test. After following the following sequence on a existing circuit.
he problem have is on my Cpc - Cpc. The reading I am getting s open circuit. But when test L1-Cpc2 and L2 - Cpc1 he reading am getting is inconstant. Would...
After going to church this morning I had a EICR to do for a friend where someone had been growing some illegal substances and the police or DNO had removed the meter for evidence. So only dead test can be carried out and it needed a EICR before a new meter is fitted. The RFC is protected by a...
I was on a fairly big new build commercial job recently, nowt too big electrically, but lots of SWA on tray all around the place by the main electrical contractor.
So anyway, I noticed a couple of things they'd been doing that didn't seem right to me, but not really my place to query it at the...

Evening all,
get called to a three storey block of flats which has had water ingress into the ryefield board, basically there is three massive tanks above the riser where the ryefield boards are and one of the pumps on the tank decided to let go. The first floor has no flats, (it used to be an...
Hi all, sent my 1552 back to megger to be repaired. It's giving inconsistent continuity readings. Megger wanted £385 just to look at it! Robbin *******s! Do I asked for the meter to be returned.
can anybody recomment a meter repair company?
thanks.
Has anyone experienced issues with continuity readings fluctuating on a Megger 1730 MFT when the test leads rotate/move in the instrument as is the unavoidable condition when actually using the tester?
I can null the leads but thereafter the reading with the leads connected to each other can...
