10v on an isolated 240v spur
Ade wrote:
t'other day, I changed an ancient bakalite single socket, for a new plastic dual socket. The socket is in a garage, and is the only socket attached to a mumblety amp breaker (I forget the rating). Prior to me doing the swap, the user has reported that a couple of times, testing the lawn mower RCD has also tripped the main house RCD, which must obviously be re-set before anything works. I managed to replicate this behaviour once, but subsequent tests seemed fine. I also noticed, after I had switched the socket off at the breaker, that I still had 10v AC reading on the multimeter. Since the wiring is literally meter - breaker box - this socket, I don't understand where the 10v could be coming from... Anyone got any ideas? Use an old fashioned analogue meter, digital meters have traps for the unwary. |
