Be gentle, I'm probably going to ask some silly questions!

Hi folks, my name is James.

I have used this site to find answers in the past. This time I decided to join.

Although Part P qualified I am faily inexperienced and become unstuck somwtimes when testing. Therefore I will probably ask a few silly questions if I cant find the answers in my books. Be gentle!..

Thanks.

Hi and Welcome James. The only stupid questions, are the one's we neglect to ask!

Hi and welcome.

Questions however daft, are best asked when you include an idea of how to approach the answer and are seeking confirmation.

 

[Steve_P]

There's no such thing as a stupid question if you don't know the asnwer. Stupid answers on the other hand . . . . . . .

 

[Paul.M]

As above there is no stupid question so ask away BUT please never say that your part P qualified, its not a qualification and the subject can get on a lot of members nerves lol.

:welcome: to the forum.

Good evening everyone,

its nice to see somebodys out there.

Here is a question for you.

I have just tested my my mums 3 lighting circuits. The polarity and IR is fine but the continuity results are coming back at around 13.5ohms. I think this is high and would have expected to see a result of around 1 ohm?

Are these figures high? any ideas why?

That is probably the best quote i have seen on this site! Respect!

Jame I'm not being picky but, you rather have continuity or not. It's not measured in Ohms, resistance is.

 

[Paul.M]

Ok my last post wasn't that helpful towards your question.

What readings did you get L - N, L - CPC? and we will take it from there.

Just as a by the way, what did you get for insulation resistance in that photo Paul? :devilish:

Big fan of yours Paul but i think you are being picky, but i have had a few:54:

Greater than 999 M Ohms mate .

Btw its not a pic of me, it just looks a bit like me.

Yes that was a bit picky but I'm trying to use the correct terminology and get myself out of the bad habits I've picked up.


Your a fan of mine pmsl :rofl: You've just made my day

Are you drunk again?

Wood is a good insulator :smilielol5:

He does look like my mate Pete in Bradford.

Hi Jame

How are you doing your continuity tests on the lighting cct ?
