bizzare Line to CPC fault on lighting circuit

[sparks monkey]

fixed it, crushed cable behind a joist, nuetral to CPC, back feeding through the lamps in the downlights, resulting in a L-CPC fault, text book stuff i suppose should have fouind it earlier, thanks for all your help

230v/57000000 = F**K All. This may be why the MCB does not trip

Just looked at the OP's profile he's got to be telling porkies about his quals or he's trying a wind up with his post

HI Spanks Monkey!.... quote 'Generally with faults i'm pretty good but this one has got me stumped!'

57million ohms ....erm! Someone is contradicting themselves!!!

PS yes i know I spelt your name wrong or did I .... maybe more study and less of that may stop you getting basics wrong!

Apart from everything else -

so i disconnected all downlights, tested all cables and the fault had mysterously vanished! ... so i connected everything back up and its back!!

any ideas?

Well, yes.
