[QUOTE="sparkytim, post: 130115, member: 8627"] How are the fish???? Sounds like you may have 230v in the water there! You say its RCD protected strange that, it is not doing the job its designed to do here. With the previous mix up in wiring is it possible that the green/ yellow conductor is still live? A leakage from one of the Pumps or its lead would normally cause the RCD to trip but it maybe if the pools are raised and all plastic there may be no earth path for the fault current to flow. Your Z1 reading of 5.07 at the indoors socket and then 22.8 at the extenson lead shows a higher resistance of the earthing conductor then would be expected. How long is the circuit? It sounds like a good overhaul of the set up is required to improve the situation. Are there any regulations relating to Domestic installations in France? [/QUOTE]
