Happy Friday no rain today
yet
Spent the day doing electrickery
. When I fired up the new pump yesterday the chlorinater would not come on properly
. Anyway fresh look today.
so I had to look in here.
Ohhhh that looks like lots of stuff to run not much
Had to spear a slug who had decided to squeeze himself in one of the holes to get the cover off, made a bit of a mess
So after looking at it and more looking at it
decided to do some probing (we all like some probing
)
So out with the trusty DVM, 230v here there and everywhere it should be
. Turn on the pump and 147v here there and everywhere WTF
Who’s nicked 80v.
More looking
.
Right into the house we go and unveil that box of trickery. Here it gets tricky cos it has mains and solar main switches, more looking
Anyway I found me 80v it was across the 2 different neutral/earth bars for some reason
, (that’s for the smart sparkies to answer) so moved the neutral/earth to the other bar.
Back down the hole in the ground and 230v everywhere all the time
everything works and now running right.
Now all we have to do is get rid of all this ****ty weather and use the bloody pool
Now it’s Friday beer time and a Chinese takeaway that M has picked up while she was getting her eyes checked
Enjoy the weekend peeps
