    Insulation testing problems

    Hi all, if I’m getting an insulation reading of 0.03 across N & L on a lighting circuit what would cause this? Neutral earth, live earth, are in the acceptable realms.

    Can a battery exchanger solve our EV problems?

    I personally think the EV concept needs a new approach. Instead of spending hours recharging the EV the user just swaps the discharged battery with a charged one. The exchange time would be les than it took to fill a standard car with gasoline. You drive into a narrow lane just like you now...
