That’s a good idea making up a set of test leads like that 👍 I just had a 13amp socket and a 16amp industrial plug joined together with 2.5 mm2 three core flex. Well done Matt maybe you should see about getting those lead’ To a manufacture? Fantastic video Gaz as always 👍👍👍❤️
Good timing this video I've got some testing to do on single and three phase commando sockets I could do with making some test leads like yours for my fluke 👍
Surprised at the difference in Zs measured between the phases at the commando socket. Could that have been maybe poor contact on L1 and L2 which would explain the 0.19 Ohm difference between L1 and L3?
I’m a little concerned, live test without fused leads? I can understand the desire to make this easy, imo I would prefer one of the pre manufactured adapters. Personally I would do the test at the isolator and just confirm continuity of the CPC to the socket.
Low test..High test will knock out RCDs on the line.. On a fluke tester it's Z1 (no trip) Z1 (high current if no RCD is on the line or elsewhere on the supply..
Would love your comments on the testing process and the leads Matt has made up… Please be polite in the comments 👍🏻 Gaz
The temp elec sector has test plugs that are safer to use than these. I've even built some myself using banana plugs and small adaptable boxes.

You can stick a brown tape for L1 black tape for L2 Grey Tape for L3 and Blue for black lead

What fuses would be in there if you were as per tradition putting test probes onto the screw terminals and why is that different?
What do you do if you have got an rcd that trips when you do the test, how do you get around that?

@@kdobaggins3410 Thanks
Thanks a lot
Thanks for commenting 👍
He’s a clever boy that Matt
I thought you doubled the result?
I thought that was pscc.
@@paulsharman4491 your right it is pfc
Yes should have gotten both pfc and psc then whatever is higher x2
Most likely psc is highest
Let me make a guess, the Green goes to neutral, the red to CPC, and black to live….just because it comes handy not to explain the sequence
