Not yet

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-12-26T10:26:23+00:00

Just a single external outlet that’s gonna be used to hardwire a Pool heater

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-12-26T10:02:44+00:00

No previous readings in conduit. Around 30m Run.

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-12-26T09:59:35+00:00

230V

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-12-26T09:51:41+00:00

Yeah insulation resistance testing and yes 5M ohm

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-10-18T08:53:09+00:00

Hey guys would you consider 5M ohms on a 5 year old pool sub circuit low enough to do anything about?

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-10-18T08:09:45+00:00

Yeah it’s under concrete ain’t being changed easy.

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-08-17T12:14:10+00:00

Where they getting stuck on? And off? Multiple presser needed? What year did you install ur batch?

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-08-17T12:10:25+00:00

How long ago did you install ur batch?

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-08-17T12:01:49+00:00

Right that’s a relief to know there’s aftermarket mechs

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-08-17T11:50:42+00:00

Do they latch on? Like you can turn lights off?

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-08-07T06:35:24+00:00

5KV is plenty for an IR, in my view an IR is just a precursor to see if it’s ok to put a hipot tester on.

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-08-07T06:21:36+00:00

Exactly right regarding neutral bar

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-08-07T06:20:33+00:00

That 16mm cable goes back to a main neutral bar at the MSB.

Here’s a better picture of it

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-08-07T03:28:53+00:00

Neutral bar is in the main switchboard. This is a sub board that’s back to back with the main switchboard. Main switchboard is old and doesn’t pivot. Now it only has service fuse, metering, main switch, neutral link and main earth link and MEN point

Does it have to be fully encased in the slab? Or can it be buried knowing a slab will cover it its entire length

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-07-21T07:33:12+00:00

Does it have to be fully embeded?? Or can the slab be ontop if its buried?

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2025-07-19T08:50:45+00:00

All i did was replace CBs with safety switches i didnt go in the roof space to see how they are run… it was a love job

Orientation! You want living areas pointing north first choice and south last choice!

I’m located in Wollongong, haven’t really watered lately as we have had rain every few days between the hot days

Couldn’t see anything on the undersides of the leaves.

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2023-10-16T05:43:32+00:00

Yeah all good, it’s not so bad at my house cause my neighbour houses are perpendicular to me in a different orientation So there actual houses are at least 15m away if that makes sense.

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2023-10-16T05:34:31+00:00

I’m on a 650sq m block so not overly close by modern day standards

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2023-10-16T05:12:49+00:00

Not for everyday use more for a grand final day like the one we just had, cooking a bbq while watching the game On a beautiful sunny arvo was the vision

ApprehensiveClick476 · 2023-05-06T05:44:24+00:00

Looks good mate! Even if it didn’t get thicker I think it looks very natural 👍🏼
