I've switched off all breakers on main panel except for main breaker.(0Volts on volt meter)Hi!
I'm new to this forum, so sorry to just jump in here(don't know how to get around yet)
I've got situation where I get AC ons my mains supply of domestic 220V single phase installation but there is no voltage...
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Tnx for reply,Don't know what you're asking here?
More information please.
I think you may be living in an alternate universe.where I get AC ons my mains supply of domestic 220V single phase installation but there is no voltage
Could you detail how you setup and connected your voltmeter's probes to the wires? Because I'm assuming that you've actually measured things upHi!

This is all measured at the supply side of the main breaker with black to neutral and red to liveHi, tnx for reply.
I might be living in a alternate universe but help me out if you can...
I've got a fluke T150 voltage tester, if I touch any one of the probes on either live or neutral terminals of main switch,the AC light lights up.
If I connect red to live and black to neutral terminals, with all breakers in db board to off position I still only have AC light lit up.
If I switch earth leakage (and main) switch on, I get 102V.
If I switch lights circuit on, I read 42V (lights circuit does not work-no lights come on)
The earth leakage tripped and when I switched it back on it tripped again, second time it stayed on but none of the house circuits worked( no lights or plugs came on).Hard to tell what you are doing, but it sounds like a short or a problem with the house supply. But if it was a short the breakers should trip. The supply side voltage should not change significantly with normal loading. Why are you measuring? Is there a problem? Describe the problem in detail, all symptoms and your diagnostics.
Its to dark to see ghosts, all I see is my phone screen at the moment....Try measuring with a small load such as a 7W lightbulb attached in parallel to your probes. I think you're just seeing ghosts.
I would say that with the knowledge you have demonstrated so far, it is far better for your safety and those around you that you don't poke around live mains circuits. You risk series injuries to yourself and others. If you really love this thing, get trained first and then come back.help me out if you can...
I don't think an LED is enough of a load, and anyway it's powered by the battery in your meter, not the circuit under test.Its to dark to see ghosts, all I see is my phone screen at the moment....
And luckily my T150 has a convenient integrated led to light up the db board when taking measurements.
That's exactly what was on my mindI think you're just seeing ghosts.
SAI just switched on some circuits and the earth leakage tripped.
Turn on one branch circuit at a time and see which one is leaking to earth, i.e. which one trips the earth breaker. It would seem you have a short somewhere in that circuit or some leakage anyway.
In what country is this house?
I suggest you re-measure things with a small load applied, as wayneh just mentioned.I do not know what yo do...
