[quote author=akuk link=1119947508/0#3 date=1119956683]I think that I cracked most of the tests and have a good understanding of the procedures and results. [/quote]
That's great news
Quote:but I stuck with this one. Zs on sockets with the 1653 is easy, remove loads connect the plug prob to the socket and press the test, for the ceiling rose I had to use the fly frobs, I used the earth and phase, and could not get sense out of it, than I started to suspect that the Fluke 1653 needs neutral for this test although the neutral does not take part in the fault path when using TN-S system (probably this is the power source for the tester or somthing like that)
You've pretty much got it there Albert, the neutral is only for the instrument to work, it is not actualy used to conduct the test as such, the important thing is that you have 3-leads aswel as your 13A plug, you would use the 13A plug as you have done, on ring circuit's and the like, and then use the 3-lead test for testing at wiring accesories, consumer unit etc
Quote:while you were thinking I went upstairs and opened a socket and tested it with probs instaed of the plug (to simulate ceiling rose), it seems that it wo
rks.
Yep, I don't use a 1652, but I'm getting my head around it slowly
Quote:How the hell you hold 3 probs with 2 hands, (I know that the tester has a prob that have the test button on it), the crocodiles are too big for access the wires in the C/R, any ideas? There are 2 resons why I need to know this: 1) It is me and I need to know. 2) Coming Friday I have my 2391 practical test and it is about doing the tests.
ooo you lucky thing, you're be getting assessed before me, frigging courses!
I can't comment much on the probes as I don't use the 1652, the green/earth clip is the one that goes on first, then you should only have to hold the 2 other probes
Quote:When I am doing the Continuity of CPC I get R1+R2 (Phase to cpc), I belive that this is what you ment or I am wrong
The continuity of CPC can be done as just an R2 test where you connect a long lead to the earth block at the board, and then connect it to one probe, connect other to an earth point at a light or similar, it's alot of messing about, so we do R1+R2 which is where we bridge phase to earth at the board, or at a light, and then test between phase and earth at the other end, this is then our phase and earth value
