Like.
I’d say you might be on a TT or TN-C-S system (see below), so in that case, no, but we can’t be sure yet. I also can’t yet explain your... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements.This is the one that confuses me. If it is expected that an RCD will trip, the system must be referenced to a ground rod someplace. The...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements.I see. This explains the confusion and seemingly contradictory explanations I have experienced in the past.

Averagesupernova replied to the thread Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements.This makes no sense in the context of this thread. If N and L are not referenced in any way then what is the point? Not possible. You...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread Digital phase converters for running 3-phase motors.This is what is known as open delta. Look around in small industrial neighborhoods in North America. You will see a large transformer...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread Digital phase converters for running 3-phase motors.This is technically not correct in the context of what is happening. This same concern has been brought up previously with rotary phase...

Averagesupernova replied to the thread How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?.Uh, yeah that's what I said. To be a clean-out for the "building" as you put it, it is implied that the snake goes into the clean-out...
