Large Volt Drop in ring circuit

Eightieth think Pete might choke on that.

 

[buzzlightyear]

for pete ,sent you a funky chicken card !

 

[westward10]

They look like they have just been electrocuted.

I'm missing the Funky gibbons theme !
( On the wrong track as normal )

 

[buzzlightyear]

yeah, gibbon. are think of the goodies song .

Not sure yet, going to have a nose at the real ale in Asda and see what tickles my fancy. Might get a couple of bottles of SA in, who knows

Now now, let's keep it clean. Beer we were talking about .

Guys
I know 240 IS LOW VOLTAGE
Once the pat tester highlighted the problem i got out the MULTIMETER
60 volts L-E + L-N

Did you measure N - E ?
I think you will find you have a live connection but a break in the N and E .
more testing is required .

Automated instrumentation ,
(and what it decides to do when it detects Danger)
..about as useful as an ostrich ..

It can't be that bad if it highlighted the problem, I just need more time to retest the whole system starting at the connections in the CU

Not all bad , I'm angry with myself for believing in it ,and falling in the same trap again.
( Its inteligence - fogs the process at times )
Probably where the Nice round numbers come from !
( Now embarrassed at how wrong I was )

Mr Random 2 , I thought my phone was bad ,
(Maybe he uses one of those voice recognition apps . )
No sugar coatings ,
Both feet first ,

so maybe I am --on another planet for sure--
Enjoying life , definitely !

wjat fault are you expecting to find in the CU connections? Or is it a random guess?

Did you measure the 60V open circuit or with any load connected?
Did you carry out an earth fault loop impedance test of the circuit?
Did you observe any appliances working correctly whilst plugged in to an affected socket or do you only have the customers word for it?

Ah I am with you now.

not has bad has that , on any muli tester I would say if you have right
voltage like 230 v

.... on any muli tester" it" would say if you have right
voltage like 230 v

Is that when my Spark symbol shows 230+/- 5% (on his Fluke)
Or just anything over " safe" 50V ?
(warning energised)

test voltage 50vIndicates the preset fault voltage limit. The default setting is 50 V. Some locations require the fault voltage be set to 25 V, as specified by local electrical codes. Press  when you turn on the tester to toggle the fault voltage between 25 V and 50 V. The value you set will appear on the display and will be saved when you turn the tester off. 

Im wondering if I have some AI in my DNA ! (humanized random miss spellings)
Top line-was main point !
