As I college student.
I'm still just experimenting with equipment etc.
I have the megger bm223 without the test leads
Can anyone recommend some cheap Test Leads for this. I'm only using these for my home study. Not professional work or anything.
Thanks.
Hi guys and gals, I have a question about the leads to computers (commonly known as kettle leads).
I am new to PAT testing so please bear with me if this is a silly question.
I am aware that if a product has a particularly long lead then the result of the continuity test can come out larger...
Hi,
My Kewtech KT63DL has just come back from its annual calibration without any issues, but Ive just taken it to site and attempted to do the usual nulling of the leads before doing a continuity test and they keep coming back as 0 ohms which they didnt used to do. Normally i had to null them. I...
Hi
Hope anyone can help
Can someone give me advice on how to connect up a 3 phase to 13amp adaptor lead for carrying out PAT testing on 3 phase equipment but using a 13amp port on the PAT tester. Need to know the connections for
4 pin 3phase & earth plug to 13amp plug
5 pin 3phase &...
Hi all,
I can't understand why but I always get a small (minimum 0.06mA) earth leakage reading on extension leads (even without surge protection).
Is this normal?
If it is, please could someone explain how earth leakage occurs on a simple extension lead?
Thanks
Just bought 20 holders for a 12v-GU10 conversion job. Are they making the leads shorter now ? ! By the time they are enclosed in a Wago box .There is not a lot of cable left !
Hi, what do you guys use to test rcbo trip times at the rcbo in DB? My Fluke test lead can not reach far enough for contact, I can't see any long reach probes for the Fluke 1662.
Any advice greatly appreciated :)
having been testing a lot of gear recently and using my megger 1720 never lost a bleep and recently why I was testing at the mains and was getting PEFC ok but not PSCC so my thoughts where faulty tester and send for repair ,but having received a new set of test leads separates as a back...
Hi, first post here!
Just wondering on your thoughts on RCBO neutral fly leads being connected to the bottom of a main switch?
Went to replace a cracked double pole switch for the storage heater, went to give it a quick test and came across this. Dual RCD board with an extra main switch added...
I've come across a number of instances recently where the occupant of a house has run extension leads clipped on and passing through walls to provide additional sockets. One instance they had an extension lead of 4 plugs screwed onto their kitchen counter wall, plugged into one of the double...
Looking to replace my current generic test leads that are starting to show signs of variable readings. I also find the crocodile clips don't tend to stay on neutral or earth bars very well.
I have an MFT1711 (and a venerable 1552) so need standard 4mm connectors.
The Megger set are expensive...
Evening all,
This has probably been answered somewhere here, but in case it hasn't... I have a Fluke 6500-2 and had trouble testing SPD extension leads as you cannot drop the voltage to 250V using the IEC lead test button. I found a way to set up an auto test sequence to include EB and 250V...
So I have a job of installing an old cast iron lampost which will need to be buried into the ground about 600mm deep due to its weight. I am planning on drilling a hole at an angle from the patio area (next to the hole) into the hole to pass the 1.5mm swa into. Once the cable is in, I’m planning...
Hi all,
Engineer carried out EICR and marked the above as a C2, I agree, the smaller cables could come loose easily as the terminal is mainly clamping the 16mm tail. Client said C3....
