Is it safe to insulation resistance test through these i presume you are its a slide to click in connection i know how to test up to them but will it naca it if i turn the hortman on and mega it?

 
i would have no problem Meggering it

there are  a fair few on here who would have no problem meggering it :innocent

all depends on how you use the Megger.......and as to what you have it set at! :facepalm:


You would have thought this sort of information would be taught to people before they go out into the big wide world ....

working alone on real installations where they could do damage if they didn't understand how,what,why of the testing they are doing...

spose thats progess... ??

:popcorn   

And he's back after sticking 500v through something and now wondering why it doesnt work any more...

:Applaud

Can't imagine how you come to that conclusion.....

Just a lucky guess ???

:innocent

 
Why am I reminded of the forman at a contractors I worked for ?  

On attending a breakdown he would ignore the actual problem and engineer the control tranny into meltdown , bring it back for rewind or replacement then engineer that I would end up going out to refit it ....only to find there was a fault  ( the original cause of breakdown)  .   

I adapted to this wheeze by, when he tried to wheedle from me what was the problem , I'd just say , " Yep you were right , it was the faulty control tranny"

 
Why am I thinking of those medical soaps where they shout  "Stand clear "!!   before meggering stopped hearts   ??

Hmmmmm.....?   :shakehead

If you were a real Brumie the only soap you would be thinking of was Crossroads!!!!

They just had a 50th anniversary so I read in the local free paper!!!

And Benny would never have meggered anything..  or said stand clear!!

a tiswas link and NO Sally James

you should be ashamed of yourself,

go and beat yourself with a holly bush you scoundrel you,,,,,

 
Benny used to keep a pub on the edge of the city centre ,   think it was called Benny's Bar for a time .   Not many people know that .

AND  MR SPECS  there WAS an electrician character in Crossroads  ....with a cantilever toolbox that was obviously empty when he lifted it .

I once held open the shop door for Meg Noel Gordon  who had pulled up in her Roller  to buy some ciggies ...  she never recognised me ...    swept past without a bye your leave ........... they went out live from the ATV STudios in Aston back then , hence all the mistakes.

How could I have missed the 50th aniversary of Crossroads !!!!    Miss Diane !! Miss Diane!!!

It was strange to have seen the Scottish chef  attempting to escape from Stalag Luft 3 with Steve McQueen in The Great Escape .  Not many people know that either. :C
