    Downlights Tripped

    Just looking for a bit of help. Just finished fitting some Downlights and they have tripped the downstairs, the wiring all look spot on yet when I tried again only 3 of the 8 lights worked.  I have a tester should I test continuity from the switch or would an IR be appropriate. Thanks.

    Is this a big job or small job.

    Trouble is the pool outer edge is made out of decking so concrete will be impossible. I am thinking this will be a bad move bolting it on to the decking. The isolator is fed from the CU in the shed which is RCD protected coming off a 16A MCB

    Is this a big job or small job.

    Not really the best title TBF but need a bit of advice really. Is the a big job or a little job and how much will I be looking at to have this wired up? The last electrican has already fitted an isolator for the pump last year and just wondered really is this a big job at all. Thanks...

    Swindon Massive

    Evening. Just wondered if anyone has ordered the extra learning from Swindon Massive for the 2365 level 2 and 3. Are they smart screens? Not really sure what they are all about. I want to order then but not sure if they will be the same ones what we get on the college blackboard.

    Hi Murdoch just done as you said mate. With the Wago at one end I got a reading of 0.21 then I tested it without the Wago and got a reading on 19.99

    Right here goes.. When I then tested again I got 0.20 ohms whilst pinning on to the Earth and SL I then switched the switches and nothing but it seem to work if I press the switch off and press the test button again I get 19.99 then when I press the switch again and press test it goes to 0.20...

    It hasn't been calibrated as yet mate I have it booked in for Thursday. I am Nulling it with both crocodile jaws, It kept beeping twice then kept coming up with 5.00 for some reason then eventually it would Null.

    Still not happening after following diagrams. I am getting 0.24 ohms between the Earth and SL then nothing whatsoever happens when I switch the 2 switches below. starting to get on my nerves now TBH.  I have defiantly done the wiring correct. Took the N CPC & L to the ceiling rose, copied...

    I am going to have a proper good luck tomorrow, its got to be wired up wrong as you suggest. I think I have tested it all properly, put the line into the earth terminal on the CU, nulled the MFT, gone to low OHMS continuity, then crocadiled the earth on the rose while connecting the other lead...

    I am using a Kewtech mate, I am putting one of the testing ends on the earth terminal in the ceiling rose and the other testing end on the switched live.  Loop through connection?
