    Voltage and Continuity Electrical Tester

    My fluke T140 past away this week and now looking for a new tester.I was very satisfied with the T140, very practical and fast. My dealer have only the new T150 at 190euros.On ebay is aprox 160. Before ordering a new one was thinking to ask here and see what you are using ? If there is any other...

    Funny readings continuity of protective conductors

    I'm doing an continuity test on a lighting circuit and I'm getting funny readings I'm putting on test lead on earth and one on switch live then I'm getting a reading of around 1.4 ohms but then when I'm checking the polarity it's shooting up to around 93 ohms but not breaking the circuit as you...

    Loop in at The Switch - 3 Gang 2 Way

    Hey, I've just past my trade test and was placed on a new build to complete the 2nd fix as the guy who roughed it has left. Anyway, he's wired the lights using the loop method at the switches, I've never did this previously as I would always do the joint at the ceiling rose, this has thrown me...

    Eicr Code

    6mm singles from 100a TP 60947-2 in a main panel to an adcent enclosure to a 16a 60898-D Tp, then 6mm leaving this to air con units. Would you code 2 the 6mm singles from the 100a 60947-2? As exceeds current carrying capacity?. Or because the 6mm singles are less than 3 metres to the enclosure...

    Ring Circuit Continuity on EICR (Figure of 8 ?)

    Hi There seems to be some confusion at work about ring circuit continuity on an EICR. I was under the understanding that you took r1 & r2 added together and divided by 4, then during the live testing a Max Zs was measured using meter. The method two or 'figure of eight' is used only on Initial...

    High continuity resistance on ring final circuit

    Hi peeps I have continuity measurements on a ring final circuit of: L/L 1.4, N/N 0.78, E/E 1.7 Loose connections somewhere? There is a new CU with RCD. Insulation resistance measurements are good. There is a boiler added into the circuit as a spur. Any suggestions or comments? THANKS!! :) :) :)

    Continuity on lighting circuit - weird results?

    Hi Running a quick test on a lighting circuit today, was doing R1 + R2 on downstair lights. Everything seemed OK, but upon trying to prove polarity by using switches obviously upon switching off the circuit goes open but when tried switching on again and testing again I got a wildly...

    Continuity between neutral and earth?

    Hello all, I have just done a pre-works visit for a CU change and found continuity between neutral and earth!! This is a TT so I didn't think I needed to disconnect the main earth but after getting continuity between N-E I did, I also disconnected main bonding but still getting N-E continuity...

    Hi all I keep having problems with my fluke the continuity readings are all over the shop never stable I always check my readings on a calcard before testing and when nulled I get correct reading i will test it on calcard 5 minutes later and it's half an ohm out so never know if I am getting an...

    Different continuity R1 and RN readings on ring

    Changing a CCU and reconnecting existing wiring (twin and earth) = did a N - CPC IR test for earth leaks prior to dismantling the old (BS3036) unit for obvious new RCD trips; all ok. However, on ring circuit the continuity end-to-end readings of the R1 and Rn are 0.3 ohms different; 0.41 on...

    no cpc continuity on ring final, strange readings !

    Good Evening all, Been at a property today starting intial tests for a board change tommorow. There are two ring circuits, on one of the ring circuits i had an open circuit on the cpc. Live and neutral where fine 0.4/0.4. I started to locate the break by splitting the legs and joining the live...
