[QUOTE="Gn96, post: 537284, member: 35894"] I have, reading was 2.10 brown-earth 2.11 black-earth, would a cpc not connected send voltage down the SL? Because nothings plugged into the kliks they’re essentially just connector blocks at the moment so no way of voltage back feeding down the SL from the PL? I thought maybe a loose neutral but the Rn R2 is the same reading as R1 R2 and I’ve checked my connections. I’ve not had much experience with induced voltage, how would you reduce that? And should it even be there? 50mtrs of 3 Core ran along metal pearlings with no other cables? I feel stupid asking this and it doesn’t sit right with me seeing voltage where there shouldn’t be, but can this be safe to leave as is? All test readings pass and visual inspection is fine, If I was following the (no live testing) that companies are pushing nowadays and carried out an R1 R2/IR/and calculated my Zs I never would have found this issue. Until I install the LEDs and they don’t turn off maybe but if it is induced then it wouldn’t power the lights. I’ve run out of ideas what to do next. Been a sparky for 8years now and testing for 2years. Never come across it before. [/QUOTE]
