[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 28598, member: 250"] I don't think you have read all the answerers on your other thread? If you check back... NO one said it will find the location of a fault... But it WILL identify which pair of conductors are breaking down... (if any) e.g. short Live-neutral OR short Live-Earth??? On your previous thread you hadn't actually proved with any readings there was a short! you said you assumed there was because the fuse was blowing? you stated values of >99.9K across all conductors... (with a resistance test), which is NOT a short.. it was pointed out that cables could be breaking down when 230V applied.... which an IR test will highlight? What are your IR readings? [/QUOTE]
