In this 21-minute video, we dive deep into electrical problem-solving. If you’re passionate about troubleshooting and want to enhance your knowledge, stick around! But if this isn’t your cup of voltage, feel free to skip ahead. No clickbait here-just real insights.
In this video, we dive into the fascinating world of electrical inspections and debunk a common misconception: ghost voltage. Join us as we explore the difference between ghost or phantom voltage and genuine electrical issues, shedding light on what home inspectors encounter.
🔍 Topics Covered:
(1) RCD (Residual Current Device) and RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker):
* Learn how these safety devices work to protect against electric shocks.
* Understand their critical role in residential and commercial electrical systems.
(2) Ghost Voltage vs. Real Voltage Leakage:
* We’ll demonstrate how ghost voltage can mislead even experienced inspectors.
* Discover the steps to differentiate between harmless ghost or phantom voltages and actual leakage.
(3) Testing Procedures:
* Watch as we ensure the proper functioning of RCDs and RCCBs.
* Learn how to identify ghost voltage using multimeters and other tools.
(4) Safety First:
* Safety precautions are paramount. We’ll emphasize safe practices throughout the video.
Ghost Voltage refers to voltage readings that appear on a multimeter or voltage tester even when there’s no actual circuit connected. It’s like a phantom signal. Ghost voltage is not dangerous and cannot energize or create a shock hazard. Ghost voltage occurs due to capacitive coupling or other factors.
For example, an unconnected wire near a live wire can induce a voltage reading. Autoranging multimeters may also display ghost voltages when searching for a signal. Ghost voltage is distinct from voltage leakage. Leakage involves unintended current flow (usually through insulation) and can be hazardous. Ghost voltage, on the other hand, doesn’t pose any risk.
Whether you’re a homeowner, DIY enthusiast, or professional inspector, this video will empower you with the knowledge to separate fact from fiction regarding electrical anomalies.
