Hi
Been wiring in a Jacuzzi at a customers.
Wired it to a DP Fused connector unit (to isolate), then to switch junction box.
Switch wire goes to a single pole on/off switch outside the bathroom
The Switched live from Junction box goes to Jacuzzi.
I tested it ALL OK. IR test was +299. RCD Fine. Continuity all fine.
After the tests I still had my Megger attached to the Jacuzzi L + N on Voltage scale.
I noticed that the Megger was reading 180V even though the switch outside the bathroom was OFF.
So I checked FCU, Junction Box, Consumer Unit and switch wiring - Couldn't find anything.
Is this an Inducted 'voltage', that will dissipate?
It does disappear if the FCu is turned off.
Also the Switch cable does run along side 3 other cables and the shower cable too for a short while.
Turning off the shower at the pullswitch didn't make the voltage disappear.
Only things I can think of are -
- Inducted Voltage ?
- Faulty Switch ?
- I've wired the Switch and Jacuzzi the wrong way (Pretty sure I've not, but need to test)
Fast answers appreciated as the customer is already a bit miffed over a couple of other unrelated issues
