I was thumbing through some technical guide books this morning checking to see if I had stashed the odd ten ppund not between the pages and saw that I had written the above words inside the back page Has anyone got a copy?

A friend of my wife wants stick some individual old tiles on top of her existing tiles Can any one suggest which adhesive and what procedure she could follow. Thanks in advance.

Yes the L to N was 228v L to E 228v and N to E was 0.05V when I was on site yesterday

Earth loop reading at the other end of the field was 2.15 Ohms at around 4pm yesterday compared to 5.86 Ohms at the Park Home. One thing I had not realised is that the cable connecting both ends of this installation are longer than I originally thought. The cable goes around the edge of the...

Honda genny

I got 5.7 Ohms on the earth loop tester which was plugged into the socket outlet the boiler plugs into, which whilst its only 70-80 yards as the crow flies, I found out this afternoon that the cable between the Inverter/batteries and the Honda generator which is connected to the inverter...

I called at the Park Home this afternoon. Ionization on the boiler display with it set to L was 4 to 4.4 microamps.

I am grateful for all the advice. I will try having a discrete chat with the bloke who installed it so as not to rub him up the wrong way. I do accept that it may be that the Intergas Boiler may not run successfully on an Off Grid set up so if nothing else sorts the problem I will run the...

I will take some better pictures. Is the neutral of the inverter connected to the earth rod & hence the home earth? I suspect the problem here is due to the earthing regime. When establishing a source (ie. the inverter) one has to understand clearly what the purpose of earthing is and to ensure...

Image 6 which was taken a week before image 5 which shows what I would call a change over switch that allows a diesel generator to supply the Park home if the batteries are low due to not enough sunlight to the PV panels

You say two earth rods..... 75 yds apart. Obviously the live & neutral connections between the inverter shack & the home are copper wire.... What about the earth connection? Are there THREE wires between the shack & the home or TWO? On the evening I found that the L to E and N to E were 120v...

Whilst I am not an electrician, I do have Part P test kit, OK not Fluke, but Socket & See gear which plugs into the socket outlet alongside the boiler. I work on the basis that if the test instrument displays a reading which is outside the expected parameters I contact an electrician.

I am having a problem at an Off Grid job in Lancashire, which comprises of an array of PV panels, three batteries an inverter, and an backup generator which does not fire up automatically but currently has to be switched on manually. I did not realize this park home was totally off grid when I...
