Hi All,

I have installed a new consumer unit, the ring circuit is showing IRfault between L-N. The customer doesn't want to pay for the fault to be rectified because the ring circuit is working fine. Do I need to rectify this fault if I wish to show this job to an assesor for certification?

:facepalm:  Oh dear.

I'd hazard a guess that you've missed a neon or plugin smelly somewhere?

Pesky neons!

Should have tested and rectified any faults prior to installation then it doesn't look like your the one to blame...

1/  The fact that you are asking a question such as this actually means you are probably not competent to be working alone....

2/  As long as you have paid your money fact 1/ will probably have no effect on how your assessment goes.!!!!!

what exactly is your definition of an IR fault???...

But then again if you have put 500v DC down a customers cables with some appliances still connected then there may actually be some equipment faults now as you have fried some equipment vulnerable to testing!!!

It could even be a TV aerial amp

But like others have said.......

What does it smell like now its had 500 volts through it ?

 

[Andy™]

the most surprising fact here is he has actually done an IR test. completely wrong and no idea what he is doing though so wasted his time anyway

 

[NozSpark]

Extractor hood????. or many other kitchen appliances with hard to reach sockets/plugs

 

[binky]

if you have an RCD on the circuit it is unlikely to be an IR fault

No just show him the fault and ask him how to fix it. You will pass with flying colours.

 

[Blue Duck]

unusual reply for manator but I'll go with it.... has the cheque cleared?

Oh and back in college days we put 1kv dc through many many things not much seemed to break...

Just meggering it out.....

 

[Steve3948]

What do you mean by many things ??

 

[Blue Duck]

Anything we could get our hands on at college other than computer equipment mostly canteen stuff toasters earns etc...

 

[batty]

It will only be electronic equipment that  gets frazzled.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

The nearest to electronics when he was at college was an abacus :coat

 

[batty]

That's a bit below the belt I  remember calculators when I went to school.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

I was not referring to you, young man.

 

[Steve3948]

It was only a slide rule when I went, digital watches were like £90 now £0.99p

with red led screen, the size of a telephone directory, and useful functions like + - X and divide :^O
