The hung from a crane is to get the item closer to the roof and it;s designed to be used that way. Issue we are having is the unit has a high earth fault loop is a stand alone system that is bonded to a rod in the ground. Obviously that's a good path for a earth fault but a short circuit...

The unit can be hung from a crane not in contact with the floor, in this instance would a earth to neutral link be removed? This would make sense as its past use was hung and we need it on the ground?

After a rather large generator of 40Kva with a 63A, 32A, 16A and 16A circuits landed on a building site. A test for the Earth fault loop brought up a result of 1440 ohms from the generator feed to the main board. Obviously as this was quite high some further investigation brought to light that...

Thanks all for the advice. IR readings checked out and shrink fitted to be sure. Problem solved.

I think it was pulling it through a bush and they have caught the cable. Not my work. I was just asked to rectify!

Thanks for that. Hopefully be sufficient with the heat shrink

Dry environment and it feeds a piece of equipment. Also it’s protected in trunking if that helps?

After some advice for a scored / scratched cable. The cable core is scratched roughly 1-2 Inch removing the colour but leaving a white colour not down to the copper. It’s for a 110v power supply. Would a small piece of heat shrink provide adequate protection to avoid replacing the whole cable...

Yes would be a good set of snips and a clean cut. Integrity of the crimp is the same. There just a touch too long. I couldn’t see an issue myself but as there are a lot smarter people I thought I would get some opinions that’s the basic shape. So essentially cutting a mm off the end Would...

Hello all I have made the error of ordering 500 XL blade 1.5 mm crimps. Question is can I nip 1mm off the end of the crimp to shorten them to use. In theory it should be fine just want to make sure I am not overlooking any issues further down the line. The crimp will still be made the same...
