i put my home shower pull cord in the living room near my fav armchair, that way i can turn the shower off if the kids are spending too long in there.

you might be right sidewinder, i missed the capacitor bit, but usually if a dual voltage motor that shows around 220-240v on its name plate, it doesn't mean can be supplied by single phase.

the dual voltage name plate relates to the external delta or star connection, 230 delta 400 star. it DOES NOT mean you can connect it to a single phase supply. wire it as a 400v DOL star connected circuit.

thanks for the response. i think i was probably reading too much into it. obviously if you were testing our own install and found poor IR results you'd investigate further making sure the meter is sound. i just was looking at it from an inspectors point of view and not the installer, as if...

i'm guessing its already been safely isolated also meters would have been checked before the first test and loads already disconnected. think the question is slightly ambiguous anyway IMHO

thanks for the replies but without sounding rude, i know how to fault find. this is from the perspective of a inspector and which may not be the installer. the question is one which C&G have highlighted as people getting wrong whilst doing 2394. i know how i'd proceed but wondered what...

thanks but i don't think thats the answer they're after

i'm having problems finding the correct answer to this question which has been taken from a 2394 exam question; Whilst carrying out an insulation resistance test on a new lighting circuit the result is unsatisfactory. list THREE steps which need to be taken.   so, i would say report result on...

i dont think i'd have a problem formating the drive but not sure about installing the operating system. is an expensive job getting a shop to do it?

is that simple to do?
