[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 371991, member: 250"] If L-N and L-E are showing full short then I suspect your fuse would be blowing NOT the RCD tripping?? Most IR testers cannot show readings low enough to indicate a full short.. i.e. 0.00MegOhms is the reading you would get for a resistance of 0.009999 MegOhms, 0.009999 Meg = 9.999KOhms or 9999ohms... 9000+ ohms is not a full short in my book.... You general need a meter with a low ohms range to read full shorts. What are you actually calling a "FULL SHORT" you may have been just reading through the element??? If you had fault symptoms.. changed an item.. Then still have fault symptoms possibly the item you have replaced was not actually faulty???? Need more info and actual figures. :popcorn [/QUOTE]
