Discuss Conductor insulation breakdown in the Electrical Engineering Chat area at ElectriciansForums.net

Has water as got into the sockets

they look dry, the back of the plug is sealed with resin and the front of the plug pictured is dry with no signs of water ingress, some other light fittings on other circuits we have seen water ingress and it’s fairly visible, I was getting voltage transfer across all cores, even the Dali side.

I can try and see if they’ll dry out and the IR improves but it’s been proven as a manufacturing defect as the plugs where installed correctly so new fittings and fly leads are needed to rectify.
