Interesting they're still running overloads on all those. Looks like they've done a VFD retrofit at some point and left them in. I suppose it doesn't really matter but I try to take them out when drives go in, lets the VFD do the protection so any faults will just show up on the drive rather than killing power to it. Interesting find! Any reason you go for the ABB switchgear? Schneider stuff seems to be smaller from experience and looks a bit nicer too.
It’s not a site I look after, but everything there was fairly old. Seems like a place where they just keep it all going. No reason for ABB, it’s just what Middys have me. In hindsight, I would have gotten Schneider gear for sure. The ABB stuff was high and made it more difficult than it needed to be.
Have you always tested for shorts to earth just in continuity mode? As a sparky we always use a megger at 250 or 500v for this sort of test, perhaps a multimeter like a fluke 1507 or 1577 would be great for the everyday usage like this without having to get a separate meter? Just a thought cheers
@@lewistreloar2312 If something trips a breaker, good chance that a normal multimeter will pick it up. It's more earth leakage stuff where you need a megger over a multimeter. Tripping an overload is more likely to be something a multimeter is good for, as it suggests a sustained but low overcurrent situation. Low ohms setting on a megger would work too. Also always a chance of energising the wrong thing with a megger when poking around with drives and whatnot too, 500V to the input (or even voltage on the output) probably wouldn't do them any favours.

Love the thoroughness!
Good job mate

@@Thermoelectric7 good points, makes sense I guess I’m more so used to chasing down earth leakage faults majority of the time, cheers
