another busy day firstly we had to complete the previous task of installing the spotlights at Guest house gardens and it was done....second task for the day was to wire and install temporary infra red lights at Wild Life Centre.
the lights will be pluged in to be switched when needed.
we used 1,5mm surfix cable,Edison screw bulb holders and three pin plugs.

we completed our day with installaton of plugs at the mechanical workshop were two plugs had to share a circuit and one on its own circuit.
The installation was done accordingly but we encounted a problem were one circuit was tripping the Earth Leakage.

The problem was later discovered that the neutral on one circuit was connected on the neutral bar of the supply which is earth potential.

12h30 voltage drop

2009-06-11T06:18:00.000-07:00

@work again there is an adventure centre that has been erected and we had to supply it with power.Today we were designing a new Distribution Board and touch ups on the wiring that was done on the winwy house.we used a high voltage cable for singlephase supply in order to try and avoid voltage drop.2 conductors were binded together as live and 2 as neutrals.We tested voltage output and the value was 228v and the other side input was 228v then we used a 1400w grinder and we had the voltage of 224v.And what is the conclusion?if we use 2 grinders at the sametime then volts will drop to 220v and what is the impact of that that on lights and ect.findigs were that it is not good for the machines to run on such voltage and the machines can also cause overload.

work

2009-06-11T02:36:00.000-07:00
