[QUOTE="poni, post: 552355, member: 1497"] it depends where you tested with the non-contact probe, as they cant read voltage through that sort of cable, it looks like concentric cable to me, you need to get to the brown cable in the middle of the black cable for that to work, do what Murdoch says, to verify that that is your meter, then turn off your OP consumer unit in your flat and do a continuity test at the switch in the photo switched off, you should get an open circuit , then switch on the consumer unit you should then get some resistance from the heaters in your flat, if you get resistance at the first test then turn off your neighbours and test there, [/QUOTE]
