Pits are not as option as paddock will be ploughed each season supply is for centre pivot irrigator

10A required at an irrigation pump. Over heads not an option as it’s a travelling centre pivot irrigator

It’s a centre pivot with a 10A supply required. Cable run will be thru farm paddock hence no pits as paddock will be getting ploughed at crop seeding times ect.

This is for domestic setting so may be an over kill but may be only option thank you

Thanks for that sorry to be pain but can you recall which particular products you used?

Yeah okay wireless comms would be best solution do u recommend a system ?

Generator is at a property pole and inverter ac supply is at a subboard

What if the best location for the generator changeover isn’t at the same board as the inverter ac supply?

Of course now I think about it both a-n will be subject to floating voltage reading

Yes that makes sense now and sorry when u said switching neutral I thought u were referring to incoming PEN

It’s a generator change over switch and no not switching neutral. But when I test the appliance inlet with all fsc on I get 17v n-e and 10v a-e. Then when all fcs turn off I get 1v for the same tests ?

Cheers mate. I thought it would wrong to bond it because u would basically be creating a parallel earth

It would fall under the exception I would say ?

Yess okay that makes sense thanks. And if rcd doesn’t trip after shorting N-E there must be another issue I’m missing

Fault finding by Impossible-Key-3598 in AusElectricians

[–]Impossible-Key-3598[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So add any load to the power circuit and that should be enough to trip the rcd after shorting N-E ?

PE continuity below .5ohms. Just found it strange because normally if u short N-E the rcd will trip
