[QUOTE="little lad, post: 353116, member: 22983"] I am a commercial catering engineer and was sent to do a repair on a commercial oven on board a ship. The fault was that someone had received a shock off the unit. On arrival found that water had over boiled on top plate and customer received shock. Unit is a 3 phase and earth between phases was 380v and to earth for each phase was 120v. All these reading were taken from buzz bar inside unit. On doing a continuity check could not get a reading. There is 13a outlets on the wall around the galley. I inserted a plug tested and it inicated no earth. I was wondering is the device correct (plug tester) also how does a earth actually work on a boat. I have advised the site not to use any appliances and that they should contact a marine electrician this is for personal needs. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
