Tbh this is my first TT system I’ve tested it’s thrown me out a bit with some of the readings but I know the PFC will be considerably low as the ZE is 31.3 wouldn't it be around 7 - 8 amps on a TT based on the ZE reading

My ZE was coming up as 31.3 but when I went to do my PFC on 2 lead low it was giving me funny readings like 21 Amps would it make it much difference doing the PFC before the RCD ?

I’m currently testing some site temps I’ve got the main three phase head with the metre tails coming out of that going into a 100 Amp RCD with a 25mm armoured going out to feed a board when trying to test my PFC with a megger MFT1741 it comes up with 2 lead high however this will trip the RCD...

Both switches are wired up the exact same feeds in L1 and switch lines in L2 even if you switch this around it doesn’t make any difference even if I just switch it on one switch may just be how they are manafactured as they are suppose to be used as two ways may just all need changing to...

Yeah In theory it should I got one switch working the way it should and then the other switch I played about with tried it in all different configurations but it just wouldn’t allow them both to switch normally dunno if it’s just the way the lights l switches are manufactured as they are suppose...

Think that’s gunna be the case the switch just won’t allow them both to switch right no matter what you try one switch stays upside down

On a new site at the minute and got to the site and my supervisors ask me to have a look at the switching in over a 100 rooms for the bathroom there is a two gang intermediate switch for every bath room one does the spot lights and one does a mirror light both of the feeds are in L1 of the...

They’ve said to me how they want it to be second fixed they want one of the switches at the bottom of the stairs to do the ground floor halway lights and the other switch to do the top of the stairs lights then at the top of stairs they want one of the switches to do the top of the stairs lights...

Yeah it’s a new build that’s been fisrt fix by another sparky and I’ve turned up to second fix it and realised the problem they are suppose to be moving in a couple of weeks I’ll have to see what the site agent suggest

Thank you for your reply I think that’s gunna have to be the answer to have them both switch on together as getting another 3 core upstairs is nearly impossible now it shouldn’t be a major issue

I’m currently second fixing a property after a previous spark I have a switch at the bottom of stairs which needs to control the lighting at the top of the stairs I have a 3 core for that and then the light switch at the top of the stairs needs to control the lights on the bottom floor however I...
