So there's no money on meter yet your saying you've got voltage? Still seems a tad low. Approx 220v? Did the meter say approx? Mine gives an actual reading with audible sound and flashing light so you def know its live! I wouldn't trust approx!!!!! Does anything work on that board? Lights...

Need a pic of tails connected in meter.

Thank you steptoe I just feel its so far out of his depth it's a wind up!!!! :o

The honest answer is how on earth can we tell you if it's dead without testing it with an approved voltage indicator! Don't you just live b and q!!! I like how they even have nice pictures showing anyone where the connections are made for new CU's! I personally think its a disgrace that this is...

Dave how did they get this reading testing the way has been described though?

Also how did they IR test it with mcb's closed? Surly they would be at least open so no voltage on final circuits? I still don't know how your tv etc is still working with at least 500v put down it? I would not trust any test you've had done so far by the sounds of it! iMHO you need to...

Never heard of anything like it! Anyone else?

Something's not right! Where did he do insulation resistance test from? Your telling me he's left everything plugged in and insulation resistance tested all the final circuits???????????????????????????????

N - E at 0.35 that could well be your problem then! A neutral to earth fault will trip rcd no problem!!! Every circuit at 0.35 N - E??

Maybe he waters the lawn alot :o I just can't believe that the pub car park lights switching off is tripping your rcd!!!

Daba do you know how the earth fault path works even on a TT system? Why do you think the distance to the substation has nothing to do with your Ze or Ra if your TT?

I was under the impression the mcb's had to be rated accordingly! Why else would they give them a rating? It's all well and good the DNO's fuse being capable of coping with the fault current but the fault still has to pass through the mcb and I don't think there will be much left of it with...

At the end of the day it could be anything! Does the light in next room have a neutral! Find one that does and trace from there! No quick fix! Just gotta find it! Its not the hardest fault in the electrical world to find in a house!!!!

Loose connection causes heat causes termination to disintegrate! Or a mouse was hungry!!!

Lol it was tongue in cheek so to speak!

Would Jib require 2395 to be graded as approved?

Hi and welcome to the forum, what company in Northampton is it? I live in rugby.

So cooker, microwave, plate warmer and hob on 32A supply? I can see no reason why these wouldn't all be on at same time!!! It's a kitchen and I dunno about you but Christmas dinner for one takes some cooking lol That's about 63A in my book if you cook my way! Hot as you can lol Or you not...

I'f you have capacity to split them up I would but like Tom says cooker and microwave would be ok on same supply aslong as final connections were obviously rated accordingly. Sorry Tom just re-read I thought you were referring to hob being on 32A supply along with micro and cooker!!!! Sorry pal:o
