Hello all Sparkies,
Ive got a question how would you measure Zs on the installation at the origin? Even though the install is “dead”.
How do you test the motor circuit as in IR and Zs etc? Would you test the 3 phase IR from the supply to the contactor then do the same from the load side to the...
I was looking for an insulation resistance problem (house full of crap and owner insistent on not getting a full rewire done, just replace the problem parts), and I found that the old bathroom fan is switched from the downstairs lighting circuit (bathroom light switch connects to the...

Hello Ladies and Gents,
Apologies it has been a while since I last used the forums (changed career twice, and had a new member to the family).

I have just purchased a transformer for some under cupboard strip LED's. The unit is CE marked. The ELV side of the transformer has 2 short flexes coming out of it with a CSA of 0.75mm². I was going to just extend these out to the 2 strips of LED lighting I am installing but after reading...
