    I did. Have since gone back withnewly calibrated tester and done a new clean test. Its quite concerning that the reading is so different. The 63a mcb at origin has tripped out several times but not recently.

    Insulation test L to E long length of SWA

    Thank you for your help. Will double check everything tommorow and try to find out what was on at the time of tripping. Still need to retest the cable though as that stands out at the moment.

    Insulation test L to E long length of SWA
