Too true, especially those self serve checkouts, they drive me mad. Paul. ---------- Post Auto-Merged at 12:01 ---------- Previous post was made at 12:00 ---------- I'm from Hanham, which is East Bristol. What sort of work do you do ?

Ok, i'll get a skirting board ladder while i'm at it, then nip to the shop where i'll ask the shop keeper for a long weight. Paul.

I like that, i'll post results.Should be interesting. Thanks. Paul.

Thanks guys, i'm gonna go back and check all sockets for tightness. The house is empty at the moment and for the next few weeks, owned by a mate who's round there redecorating (tenants wrecked the place) so access will be easy. Thanks, Paul.

Thanks for all the help on this guys. Paul.

It's all ok now, like i said tightened screws on the offending socket and all was good. r1 was good and rn became a ring again. If i couldn't have made the rn back into a ring i would've classed the circuit as a radial and downrated the breaker. Correct ? Paul.

Oh sorry, i tried to word it so it was easily understandable, to cut a long story short, my Ze was 0.12, R1 + R2 was 1.01, so Zs = 0.12 + 1.01 = 1.13. I had it in my head but maybe didn't write it quite the same. Paul.

Zs = Ze + (R1 + R2).

Hmm, i sort of get that. So next question, Zs = Ze (in this case 0.12) added to the highest R1 + R2, (1.01) so before i found the fault and tightened the connections my Zs was 1.13, below the max Zs for the 32a breaker, so would this be a pass ? I couldn't let that go as a pass knowing that...

r1 comes down to 1.6 and rn is now a ring, 0.9

Corrected by tightening screws ?

I wish they had a website like screwfix, example, B&Q/tradepoint is about 1 mile from my house, great, screwfix about 3 miles away, i want a few items, so B&Q might have the items, have a look on the screwfix website and they've got all the items in stock at the branch near me, same sort...

I did a periodic inspection on a property yesterday, 3 bed semi, and got a strange result on one of the rings. When doing the end to end (i call them little r's), r2 was a normal(ish) reading, 1.6 ohms, rn wasn't a ring, and r1 was 20 k ohm, (yes 20,000 ohms), however when i cross connected and...

They cut cable ties fine, the cutter part is about 20mm long, away from the pivot point. ---------- Post Auto-Merged at 12:48 ---------- Previous post was made at 12:46 ---------- I've got ratchet crimps, but sometimes like when you're trying to crimp just one connector within a bunch of cables...

Yes me, they are brilliant, got my dad, a semi retired sparky, a pair as well. They fine for cutting up to 2.5, anything bigger than that and you'll need a strong grip as the cutter part is not right in the jaws. There's a little hole in them for cutting socket fascia screws down to...
