Current in the main earth
I was asked to have a look at this installation that had current in the main earth wire, Even when the supply was off. I'm interested in your thoughts.
I never did get a definitive answer to this. The Electricity supplier spent several days checking out transformers on poles.

This is a quick and easy way to test a small installation. It's not the way that is recommended in AS/NZS3017 but it's effective and fast. It covers Earth continuity, Insulation Resistance, Polarity, and Interconnection. I even found a few faults. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Finding Interconnection

I keep getting asked to make a video on testing, and a friend of mine, Sam, asked me if I would like to do a video on this job that he had taken over from another electrician. A lot of my students don't see the point of doing an interconnection test these days because one, they can't see how it can happen, and two. Even, if it did the RCBO's, would tell you there is a problem straight away. Thi...

      Dinged the sheet..not how you do it. Huge issue is trying to lift the sheet a section at a time,you need to pop each lap (the entire length of the run) from the clip and then lift the whole thing at once. Will also tell you that the claw on a hammer is the perfect angle for doing this.

    A plumber watching sparky videos ?, but our age seems similar and I don’t have prescription safety glasses either. I have in the past used my hammer drill with one hand and placed an index finger in an ear thus reducing the possibility of hearing damage by 50%. Unfortunately my golden retriever offers nothing for me while I’m plumbing but has successfully imitated a blocked drain smell on many occasions.

    Done this thousands of times can't remember the last time i broke a tile my tips 1. Wear shoes that are very pliable like dunlop volleys, 2. Maintain good fitness and body shape (top tip mate as you said in video) 3. ease your weight transfer onto each tile progressively as you walk sudden shock will snap tiles 4. Look at each tile ahead of you before you step on it, sometimes some tiles have hairline cracks and will shatter as soon as you step on them even carefully

    Great video. Thanks for posting. Only one question... would it not be preferable (whenever possible), to place the hole on the edge of a tile rather than the middle?? Avoiding the groove, of course so that the water doesn't run directly into the hole area, as you explained; but if you place the hole on the edge, then the tile can be removed to access the bracket under the tiles.

    • @gunsparky
      @gunsparky 5 місяців тому

      Never tried it but I doubt it. too easy to break the tile and no way to get a seal between the top tile and the one under it

    Is it grounded at another location also? Have you tested the voltage both for AC and DC? Another thing I would do is drive a temporary ground rod near the panel and check for current and voltage from the ground bus bar to the ground to see if you still get the same results.
