    2394 practical

    Hi everyone, I have my 2394 practical coming up soon and wanted to know if you can do a global insulation resistance test rather than individual circuits and if the assessor would be happy with this, just thinking it would save a lot of time when carrying out all your tests.

    MICC Cable - phase to earth fault

    Hello Gents, I have a low IR reading on a lighting circuit - the circuit is 50 years old - i believe the fault is at the pot connection as there has been a downpour of water on this connection - I was going strip back the sheath and identify the point where the IR reading...

    Low ir reading

    Isn't it ok to join the live and neutral together and test down to earth? I did this today on 250 volts as there are dimmers on the circuit and lv lights and a smoke detector. Having done this I got readings of somewhere around 1.6 m ohms. I left that circuit as it is not urgent to finish it yet...

    High Zs reading!

    Guys, request advice. I was recently carrying out remedial work on 2x Ltg cts reported on EICR as having very high Zs value. When I retested the measured Zs was 44.8 and 42.6. These are on a TNC-S system and Crabtree C50 5a MCBs. These would appear to be readings expected of a TT System! I...
