Evening all.
Is there a regulation or any guidance regarding live zs testing with loads connected....
Eg zs testing on a 3phase motor whilst it is running. Could the current being drawn damage the meter if testing at the end of line.... Or doing a live zdb test, is there any guidance to say...
Hi All
Last week I invested in a new Megger MFT1741+ with the EV charge point adapter as I was installing a ProjectEV charge point on Thursday of last week.
Completed the install and just needed to carry out the live testing at the charge point, Zs done no issue, next comes the charge point...
Hi I’m doing my am2 testing side tomorrow.
Does anyone know where to find the max Zs values in guidance note 3
Also they have started doing 3/4 questions at the end of the testing does anyone know where they are.
I’m also looking for how to find the max tripping times on RCDs
As (I believe) PAT testing includes fixed equipment connected to the electrical installation by an FCU (eg hand driers, built in ovens etc.) I have been trying to figure out if a Fire Alarm control Panel should be PAT tested and if so by who. Has this subject been addressed before? Does anyone...
Just watched one of 'Delroy the sparks ' videos on YouTube, now the guy has many yrs more experience than me but I do question some of his techniques, however in this recent he does a proper Ze( ie removing main earth,) but leaves the installation live, is this a done thing?! I guess the risk...
Hi all,
I'm sure this question has been asked before but just can't find it.
When doing the IR test on a 3phase commercial board, how do you go about testing the circuit if there are items that just can't be disconnected, ie Bank of lights or immovable equipment, is there a trick to doing this...
Hi there thanks for helping if you do, but was wondering on testing r1+r2 on a 3 phase distribution board could I link out L1,L2,L3 to earth and there for take all my reading that way ?
There has been a wide research on voltage already but my question is which multimeter can give us more accurate reading for voltage calculations, analog or an average digital multimeter like brymen or amprobe?
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.

I’m looking for input on the most effective way to test it, and if i need to...
I'm trying to test if there's voltage between my ignition and the solenoid. The starter won't crank or click so figured I'd start here but am not sure if I'm doing this correctly. I have a male/female connector from the ignition to the solenoid. I disconnected this, connected a probe to the...
