[QUOTE="cheggers, post: 13149, member: 200"] I thought you said that you were testing at home aren't you home for the week Morning all IR tests arghh im practicing at home but also trying to find a fault that keeps tripping the RCD Up and downstairs ring , cooker , SWA to the dettached garage are the circuits on the RCD side Ph&N - E for all circuits gives me high readings which Im happy with N-E as above P-N for the Cooker and Garage as above P-N for the rings 0.00 !!! Nothing plugged in im sure of it , when you do these connections do you put the lead on both P and the other lead on both N or do you put them in connector block and stuck your probes in ? My test leads aren't fused so ive never thought of doing it that way Ive always put the croc clips on the cable and let go then put the 500V through the system [/QUOTE]
