[QUOTE="DomSparky, post: 510309, member: 30919"] Hello guys I just wanted to know if anyone has had the problem I had today while testing... Firstly I went around the whole kitchen unplugging everything and switching of sfcu's and removing fuse carriers from fcu's before doing testing when testing between L&N I had a reading of 0.00Megaohms so guessed I had left something plugged in which I didn't so I started fault finding removing sockets etc anyway it turns out when I removed the fcu feeding the boiler my IR reading was perfect so I can only assume the fcu must have something weird going on with it I can only guess maybe when removing the fuse it isolates the Line conductor but the Neutral conductor remains connected through to the boilers circuitry giving the bad IR reading?
