Everything you see i have purchased myself, this gives me complete control to voice my honest opinion about any product
Just day to day sparky videos
If you like it, that’s cool, if you don’t, that’s cool as well.
Remember, context is important, I can’t show/film every part of every test otherwise I’d still be there now😂just assume I’ve carried it out correctly

Did you ramp test just the rcd with no load on it? If load still on then existing leakage could effect ramp test reading?

Can't remember

Even as a non electrician earth leakage faults have driven me insane more than once, when you have isolated every appliance in the kitchen, unplugged everything only to find a pet has pissed on an extension lead behind a settee.

I like the way that we are required to use metal CU's but its OK to stick them in a lovely flammable cabinet!

@bristolsparky 14 дней назад

They aren't flammable

@HenryOCarmichaelSmith Год назад

Isolate the board and check again. Could be diverted neutral current from another property?

@bristolsparky Год назад

Already checked, It’s not diverted neutral current

Good video to see mate. Informative for someone like myself still learning 👍🏻 always good to see somone break things down while having a little laugh 👍🏻😅

Thanks 👍

@philipoakley5498 Год назад

RFI filters in all the electronics take up to 1.6mA each, eg Computer + 2 display units, set top box + TV, that's 5 straight off.

@bristolsparky 10 дней назад

Exactly 👍🏻

New RCBO board on its way and definitely worth taking a bag of crisps for your trouble 😊.

@dmlelectrics8990 Год назад

Good video As your aware in the regs a 30mA RCD is only allowed 30% which is 9mA so wouldn’t comply. Bad practice putting Solar on a AC RCD shared with other circuits. Would be interested in what the DC leakage was? Obviously not above 6mA as it didn’t blind the AC RCD when testing. I’m looking at getting the TIS 570 AC/DC earth leakage tester to replace my Megger 305E.

I’m very aware of the current requirements mate👍🏻 it is not my installation, called out to intermittent tripping & have given my professional advice to the client

@dmlelectrics8990 Год назад

@@bristolsparky I realised it wasn’t your installation mate, I wasn’t being negative? I was just backing you up & adding some facts/figures for others who might be trainees etc.

@grahamek86 Год назад

Probably find the immersion heater will dump a few mA into earth when heating the water. Quite common for the elements to get a bit leaky.

@bristolsparky Год назад

The immersion is currently a backup & not used so in this instance it was not part of the issue

@joejames8146 6 месяцев назад

I went to a job today with 1.5amps between Line and neutral tails any ideas? split load board intermittently tripping a single RCD

@bristolsparky 5 месяцев назад

Issue somewhere!

Went to a property were the down stairs lights worked with the neutral meter tail sisconected and all earth conductors disconected.

@bongyb9407 Год назад

next time ya ramp test, turn the circuits off so there is no load through the rcd giving you a more accurate result pal 👍

@bristolsparky Год назад

Prefer real scenario results but I understand what you’re saying.

@garrygriffithselectricalse843 Год назад

Split boards 🤦🏼‍♂️

@bristolsparky 10 дней назад

@stevebowley Год назад

I have the same tester. Do you ever have any issues with it. Sometimes certain applications show massive currents reading which must be wrong be rcd not tripped 🤷‍♂️

@bristolsparky Год назад

Never had an issue with mine

@adoughertycontracting7243 Год назад

I had a issue with mine so i ended up getting the megger one.

@andrewwhite3793 4 месяца назад

Why did you ramp test the RCD with the circuits on ?

@bristolsparky 4 месяца назад

To prove if it’s weakened under load

those tester are shit...not reliable....good vid thou

I’ve had this one for 4 years and it’s always been reliable
