I am in training and decided to do some dead tests using my second hand Fluke MFT 1653B on an upstairs ring. I did the tests at a socket rather than at the CU. Results end to end L - L 0.74 ohms, end to end N-N 0.76 ohms, end to end cpc >2000 ohms. I checked all the sockets on the ring and...
Guys non domestic stuff here but is it true that you don't carry out ring final tests on EICR.
Or is it that you don't have to and done do it as a matter of course anyway or do you charge extra for doing stuff not needed.
I'm of the opinion of its not much extra to do it then I'll just do it...

Hi, I was wondering if you guys can help with some errant test results.
I'm testing a ring and i get
L-L = 0.41
N-N = 0.40
E-E = 0.63
Great
Figure 8 L-E = 1.0 ohms.
Still good
Figure 8 at each socket varies from 0.8 ohms to 1.1 ohms (I was expecting much lower)>
Oddly Zs = 0.23 (which is...
Hi all Im new to this site so bare with me if im in the wrong place, Your help would be very much appreciated,
I have a ring main in a house and im testing r1 r2 rn,
I get 0.48 ohms on r1 0.48 ohms on rn but also get 0.48 ohms on earths, which is wrong as it should be 1.67 times that of r1 and...
Hi Guys,
One of loads of questions,
In A Brian scaddan book ive got it says, if you do the figure of eight, i.e link N-P at the c.u for instance ,then go in each socket on the ring and test between N-P, if you get a nil reading its either a open circuit or a reverse ploarity between N-E or...
Trying to get my head around this doing r1 rn r2 test on a ring circuit today in metal conduit ran in singles, the r1 and rn where fine but when I came to the the r2 tester kept on recording 0.00 why little confused or is it obvious thanks in advance.
