    Step Down Transformer from Receptacle - Expected Results?

    Hello, I have a 125/250v - 50amp twistlock receptacle in a 3phase building (so, 208v between hots). It's a 4-wire receptacle. Currently, when needed, I split the phases/hots to attain two lines of 120v, each capable of 50amp current. If I installed a knock down transformer (208->120) into the...

    EICR - Holding back test results?

    A customer has asked me to quote for some work and he sent a copy of the EICR that was done a while back. As can be seen, the person who did the eicr is holding back the test results until the C2's have been resolved? I don't do many EICRs mainly because there are locals doing them too cheap...

    Went to quote, discovered recent EICR has fabricated results. How to proceed with client?

    I went to quote for remedial work in a flat yesterday. The client is selling the flat and wants an EICR for the purposes of the sale. The last week they had an NIC electrician who performed an EICR, which they then sent to me. Worth mentioning at this point that a neighbouring flat had caught...

    Multiple Earth Electrodes Test Results

    I need to clarify something that's rattling around in my head. I was taught when testing lightning protection systems that the maximum permissible combined electrode readings shouldn't be over 10 ohms. So we would test all the electrodes individually then work out resistance in parallel. We...

    Weird IR results? At a Switched Fcu in RFC

    So I am doing an insulation resistance test on a new flat and I get a dodgy L-E reading on the IR. I won't go above 20Meg and it fluctuates. Identified where the problem is and its a switched spur. When cables are removed all test +299 including the load which is 2 sockets. When all are put back...

    EICR Test Results mostly left blank

    Mornin' I did a small job for a client earlier in the week and told her I need to complete a Minor Works cert - as you do..
