[QUOTE="Rob_the_rich, post: 192122, member: 8419"] Went to fit a bathroom fan at a job and tested Zs at the light fittings before work, got 26 ohms! checked Zs at other light fittings, also high. Then checked Zs at a socket outlet, got 29 ohms. So then did Ze and got 35 ohms! The supply was TNCS. Phoned the electricity suppliers who said they could come around on the 18th but gave me EDF number who arranged to come around the next day (yesterday). After digging two holes in the street they managed to find the supply came from next door's property and apparently the earth and neutral were fitted the wrong way round. would this explain these readings? Is this a common mistake? Any thoughts please [/QUOTE]
