    Im assuming from your vid that its not a requirement to test the integral RCD DD @ 6mA DC. Reason I ask is that looking at certain Metrel and Megger EV MFT's and they have this function. Can I install and test EV's with a standard Magger like the 1721 ?? Anyone know.

    On the Metrel you are using you can connect the Green and Blue test leads together for 00-ing leads and perform your R1R2 test using commander probe to line and combined blue green to the circuits CPC.

    Great video. Hate to be a pedant but Continuity is best before IR otherwise in case of an open circuit the IR test voltage would not reach the complete circuit. Cory, I see you are well on the way to losing compos mentis status - it's the curse of all electricians, welcome to the club!

    @Froggability 3 года назад +1

    Actually curious, measurement of ZE is with earth neutral connected at the board hence 0.3 reading right?
    But the diagram shows minus the neutral, would show earth electrode alone, typical result 20 -200ohm, which not likely to trip a breaker on earth fault.?

    • @darrenqualters2341
      @darrenqualters2341 3 года назад

      He might have had the neutral connected, but the test itself doesn’t include the resistance of the neutral conductor.
      What you mentioned about an earth electrode having a higher resitance, that is when RCDs would be used for fault protection rather than additional protection

  • @petertallowin6406
    @petertallowin6406 3 года назад +1

    I thought that the NICEIC preferred/allowed Calculated Zs on lighting circuits, elsewhere it should be measured. If I calculate I just make a note on the certificate as to which results were recorded by calculation. R1+R2/R1+RN before IR but my guess is Cory knows that and was testing the audience...... Excellent video as always. Edit* That Metrel is a beast of a machine....

    • @darrenqualters2341
      @darrenqualters2341 3 года назад +1

      I think it’s generally preferred to calculate it as much as possible, to minimise the risk of working on a live circuit, therefore fused Spurs, isolator switches e.t.c would be included too. The only one really you can do it safely on is socket outlets

    • @petertallowin6406
      @petertallowin6406 3 года назад

      To be honest pendants are one of the few instances where it should pose any real danger. Trying to get my damned Megger croc to stay on the CPC terminal.... Fair point though.

    • @tomosslattery

    Your first mention of the Sine wave. Good! Does Oscar understand the physics of what is going on .I am sure he does .But assume nothing.Cory's classroom is a good move. A lot can happen there. Thanks for calling the role. never mind the distractions like aircraft as long as the engines stay with the plane. the cookoo at the end was nature giving a shout in .

    A quick question, i know it's a straight swa but don't you do continuity for your first test?

    • @rattlehead85
      @rattlehead85 3 года назад

      Yes you should do the continuity test first to confirm the integrity of the conductors before going onto I.R tests. Doing the I.R first could give you acceptable readings when in fact you have a break in the cable which an IR test cannot detect unless the cables are shorted out or insulation damaged.

  • @asp217
    @asp217 2 года назад +1

    Z loop (ZL-PE) is not a non-trip test, it is a high current 2 lead test which produces around 6A of test current. The green lead is not required to be connected at all, I think you are getting confused with Zs rcd, this is a 3 lead non-trip test
