How to Test a 16 amp Industrial Socket for Continuity of CPC, Polarity and Insulation Resistance

Students training aid for how to test a 16 amp (commando) industrial socket outlet wired in SWA cable for continuity of CPC, polarity and insulation resistance. All stage of the dead testing are carried out using a Megger MFT tester.

Nice one Gaz, keep them coming.👍

[@gmbs360]

Literally exactly what I was looking for - spot on!

[@GSHElectrical]

Thanks

For such an industrial outlet I would preferably use a C16 A MCB instead of a B16 A, but only if the circumstances allow it.

[@GSHElectrical]

Hi, sadly we don’t have C type MCB at my college. Thanks for commenting and watching. Gaz 👍

Thanks

Thanks for the video. Has the problem of earthing metal tray been resolved? As you say in your other video it is neither an exposed or extraneous conductive part.

[@scassidy1978]

Great video guys. Any chance you could do some videos with industrial VFD regarding inspection and testing of the final circuit.

[@syaz4380]

I got a question, for these kind of industrial sockets, especially the Lewden ones, can you like mix brands? Example can a Lewden plug fit in a PCE socket? Just curious 😅

[@GSHElectrical]

Yes it they are the correct amp rating eg 16 socket and a 16 amp plug

[@wkb9683]

I'm 38, can I join you at your electrician course?

[@GSHElectrical]

Sure can. Tresham College Corby Northamptonshire 👍

[@michaelcoles6140]

How much is the course? And what days are they on?

[@Livzplayz]

what tool is that?

[@stevensmith4449]

Surely any earth path created by the swa or any other exposed or extraneous earth path in the real world becomes part of the R2 reading

[@GSHElectrical]

Hi, totally correct but the socket is plastic in the case so no parallel earth path from the steel. This video will help 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGW4c4Vmfbiamdk All the best and thanks for commenting and watching.
