yes that was want i wanted to know are the ir readings too low

 

[MDJ]

Are you not concerned about the low IR readings first?

I think we were all concerned by the RCD reading primarily, the IR readings would have been next on the agenda LOL

[MDJ]

[MDJ]

Hi i`m new poster, qualified electrician .

YOUR A FEMALE?, well fair play for doing the course, now back to the original questions, what do you think of the results you posted up?

 

[andytucker]

there clearly wrong what order hould they be done in please

 

[worzol99]

To the OP. If your part p registered how did you pass the assessment? Testing is one of the main requirements and especially understanding the results. If you did pass it and are a domestic installer this still doesn't make you a qualified electrician. I should of put the last bit in pet hates.

When Mars is closest to the Earth, it takes light three minutes to travel between the two planets. If you asked a question to an astronaut on Mars, you'd have to wait at least six minutes for an answer, and Mars is usually a lot farther away than that.

 

[telectrix]

[andytucker]

[andytucker]

telectrix your the first person to say that ever quite the comedian

 

[rattlehead85]

I'm surprised your RCD even stays on with line and neutral to earth readings as low as that!!.

 

[andytucker]

who said it came first andy? the fact you gave a 0.2 reading was why we asked what the real readings were, now we know what 0.2 has to do with a TT system, but 1 do you? and 2 what has your IR readings mean to you?

 

[andytucker]

one of the posters in this topic stated i shouldnt be doing anything if i havent done rcd tests

 

[electric will]

My ir readings mean a lot to me!

 

[andytucker]

i should be getting a reading in ohms?

 

[shagbite]

i should be getting a reading in ohms?

ay caramba! :banghead:

 

[rattlehead85]

If your insulation tests are poor it is little wonder you aint done any RCD testing. Anyway you originally said you had done RCD testing and you got 0.2 whatever you claim that is supposed to signify!

 

[andytucker]

i havent done rcd testing

 

[MDJ]

one of the posters in this topic stated i shouldnt be doing anything if i havent done rcd tests

No we asked you to confirm your RCD readings before we would give you any help andy as the reading you gave was at best confusing and you got the 0.2 mixed up from something else to do with them??

 

[worzol99]

one of the posters in this topic stated

You just said what everyone is thinking
