Hi guys
Did an EICR last week in a council house and the occupant has complained to the council that during my testing I've damaged her TV! I did an insulation resistance test with line and neutral linked together, to earth. I normally do it at 250V then, if the reading is healthy, at 500V which I did in this case and recorded 140MegOhms. Also i usually switch off the sockets without unplugging the accessories but I can't actually remember switching the TV socket off on this occasion so it may have been in the on position. So is it possible to damage a TV at 500V with L+N together? I didn't test line to neutral seperately.
I went back and just checked the plug top and cordset and they are fine so maybe its an internal fuse that has operated. It's an LG LED TV and it's completely dead. Penny for your thoughts?
Thanks in advance
J.O.B.
