    Voltage between live and earth

    Roughly a mile away is a large underground storage facility for old ordnance. Well, if it turns out that the earth rod needs moving then there's no way that thing's getting pulled out, I'll just sink another. Can someone tell me then, on a nice and perfectly wired house, what reading, if...

    Voltage between live and earth

    There's a British guy in our village who has also just rewired. I'll ask him. Not sure if he's a qualified electrician either. There don't seem to be many rules at all out here. Most houses have no earth and I heard somewhere that ring mains are illegal here. So, getting a reading between live...

    Voltage between live and earth

    I've finished rewiring the upstairs in our house (in Bulgaria). This is 3 bedrooms and the living room on separate ring mains. I bought an earth rod and put that in the yard and as I was connecting up the earths, I decided to check if there were any voltages between various points. With the...

The current fuses are in a box embedded in the outside of the house. They make no sense at all, pulling out...

    New guy - going to rewire house in Bulgaria

    There might well be English speaking electricians here but you can end up with some ridiculous ways of doing things. The house had no bathroom and I'd never done any such work but wouldn't trust a Bulgarian 'meister' so I did the whole thing - learned from the school of youtube. I think the...

    New guy - going to rewire house in Bulgaria

    Wow - impressed at the response rate on here. Those earth rods look just the job, maybe there's something similar available out here. There's one British guy in the village who earthed his house. These are communist-built houses. People weren't expected to own much in the way of electrical...

    New guy - going to rewire house in Bulgaria

    Hi, I'm not an electrician but I did panel wiring for 10 years or more (Schneider, Square D, Merlin Gerin etc) and now I've moved to Bulgaria. The wiring in our house is ancient, a real mess, everything piggy-backed off something else & no earth circuit. There are virtually no rules here so I...
