Got a cu to change so dropped in to customers, to do a quick test prior to swap next week.
Cover off...Hmm harmonised colours on ring but only a 20amp mcb (oh what problems will I find)?
customer pipes up " oh the last electrican put those cables in when they fitted the kitchen, that fuse always trips when I have the kettle on at the same time as the washing machine & dryer"
r2 = 0.92
rn = 0.51
r1 = 42
Thats the largest r1 I've seen for a while.
looked at the kitchen all integrated appliances no isolation above worktops :_|
No ccu for oven/hob again all integrated units, so gotta dismantle kitchen to test circuit :_|
Service head & meter hanging off the wall & fuse carrier + neutral link casing cracked, uninsulated live components on show, all this is at floor level in the lounge not boxed & the couple living here have a 2 yearold wandering about
They just couldnt grasp how dangerous it is.
Oh deep joy...told em they gotta get the service head sorted before I'll do anything on the cu.
Time for another beer!!!!!
