HELP NEEDED!! (electrical)

<< < (2/3) > >>

discowoman:
Not a clue - sorry
BUT i was chosen to win a brand new Audi when I clickd on pic 3 - and i was 100,000th visitor and had won a MAJOR cash prize on pic 2..lol

SimonHarwood:
Hmm. It has probably been modified because it does not have 30mA RCD protection on the 110V and 230V outlets.

Did it come with its earth stake and connecting cable? This is essential that this is used every time the generator is used for 110V or 230V.

It won't be difficult to fix, but RCD protection is required to be fitted.
If you would like me to look at it for you, let me know. I am in eastern Leicestershire.

Simon..

BeJay:
Hi Guys,
.......thanks for the replies,

Joe90, thanks for the input Joe, did what you suggested and terminal 4 connects to terminal 1 when switched to 230v, 5 to 2, & 6 to 3, so 1 2 & 3 relate to 230v socket and terminal 4 connects to 7 when switched to 110v 5 to 8 & 6 to 9 so 7 8 & 9 relate to 110v socket.

Frontywoman, I refuse to be held liable for the adverts on imageshack, sorry,  :lol:  :lol:

SimonHarwood, cheers Simon, no it didn't come with earth cable and stake, I was planning on using an old piece of cheap/thin jump start cable and an old fishing kit bank stick (as per rod rest/keepnet stick) as a ground if that would be OK, you also have a PM.

.............cheers Jack.

Mutz:
The fact is :-
A) You need a volt/multi meter
B) Get someone who is qualified to test it/connect it.
C) Unless the cables have the numbers on them somewhere YOU wont have a clue where they come from or what voltage they are.
D) Someone has really butchered the connections.

For yours and other peoples saftey get it 30ma protected with the correct cpc size and proper earth stake and a test certificate on the rcd to make sure it disconnects correctly.

This isnt a toy it can KILL !!!!!!

(No offence intended)

joe90:
