Re: LD11 and Neutrals

Hi Dean

My first thought was that the LD11,s had a seperate load Neutral ...but
having a look at my test LD11 device thats not the case........

Strange indeed...........Sure the black wire is not a switch wire coming
from the switch ;-)..someone might have used the wrong cable......Can you
check at your main board what voltage you have on the Neutral bar with
respect to the earth bar ...???
