  • Student training aid for testing continuity of CPC and polarity of our A3 radial socket Circuit. Remember to test line to neutral first as part polarity then line to CPC to complete polarity and gain your continuity reading R1 + R2. Using a MFT Megger tester during the practical demonstration.

    When I made a test board back in the Mid 90's I put heating element's in to make it look like much longer wiring. Also a on the back was a socket were we plugged in a plug with just 1M 2M 500K resistors in with a rotary switch we had 3 ( one with Live neutral ) ( Live / Earth CPC ) ( neutral CPC ) that was for insulation testing - We would have a light switch to switch in and out on each L & N a heating element or just a long wire of 20 meters to make it look like a bit of a loos connection on the L or N only so one side would be a much higher test reading.

    Great demo Gaz. Thanks for he efforts.
    When u test the ir from neutral to earth you put it on both bars. On the screw that clamps down the circuit being tested but all the other circuit are in situ do how is that an accurate reading of the individual circuit neutral n earth? It seems like u would be testing the combination of all the circuit neutral to earths that way. Having said that if there were to be an issue of a low reading would u then pull them out to isolate them directly from.thr bars??

    I would like to see a socket on there that you know is wrong - We can learn also from a wrong reading an how to find it. Not just only seeing how it should all be - Mr DID going to B&Q an buying a two way kit they used to sell then going I know how to do it all.

  • @jaghhvitsingh1727
    @jaghhvitsingh1727 4 роки тому

    Thank for the great videos. A simple question please help, why are you showing Live terminal on the socket plate located on the right handside?
    when we open a plug we see the live pin is located on the right handside, but when we plug it in, the live will be located on the sockets left terminal.
    isn't that how it is?

    • @Mrboomal
      @Mrboomal 4 роки тому

      No. Live pin is on the right.
      Don't forget, you are taking the top off of the plug.

    Hi gaz, if the circuit was cross polarity, i.e in the fault finding exam, what readings would you expect? A closed circuit?
    Furthermore how would you rectify if!
    Thanks

    or, you could just invest in a martindale plug in test and save yourself a lot of time! Are these wondrous bits of kit actually deemed an acceptable form of testing CPC continuity and polarity for sockets though?

    • @GSHElectrical

    • @MS-Patriot2
      @MS-Patriot2 2 роки тому

      IMHO R1 and Rn is a good test to reveal loose connections and especially trapped insulation where wires are pushed in beyond where they are showing bare conductors before screwing terminals down. The values are not recorded on a test sheet but a significantly different reading between adjacent accessories will alert you to an unsatisfactory connection between the two points.

      Hi great question.... Pass.
      We use A1 for a ring final circuit, A2 for a radial socket circuit and A3 for a radial socket circuit with different considerations. Thanks Gaz

    • @markdove5906
      @markdove5906 5 років тому

      Technically you could do everything you could install a socket or a distribution board the problem is you can't sign it off on an eic form and guarantee it's safe operation. If anything happens (fire,electric shock) and it's traced to you it could be manslaughter. I know it sounds a ridiculous but that's the rules. Being an electrician is virtually the same as gas safe that's why we have to keep our quals up to date. So my advice call a professional.

    How many sockets can you have on a radial?

      @MS-Patriot2 2 роки тому

      As many as you like. Ensure the protective device (MCB or RCBO) is adequate for the cable chosen. 2.5mmT&E needs a 20A, while 4.0mm can use a 32A. Do consider volt drop if the run is particularly long.

  • @llVIU
    @llVIU 5 років тому

    thanks for all the videos but don't make the excuse that you get a low resistance due to short cables. You're an electrician, go buy some resistors and start soldering them in.

    • @GSHElectrical
      @GSHElectrical  5 років тому

      Our low readings can be due to cable lengths say around 10m and the cable in a domestic installation could be many more metres longer. All our exam rigs have power resistors in them to increase circuit resistance/impedance all the best and thanks for watching Gaz
