Continuity between live and neutral at cut out

[electricbill]

Hi - newbie here so firstly apologies if this is not in the correct place or if its a stupid question....

Following safe isolation procedure on a C/U today - on an old re-wireable board, with all fuses removed....checking that no voltage was present using a Fluke T90 I was getting a continuity beep between L & N at the C/U main switch with the the cut out removed. Is this normal? I did not take any readings on my meter so can't be any more accurate I'm afraid.

Any thoughts welcome...

Many Thanks - Bill.

take the t90 and pinch the prongs with your fingers.

it will read through you

If you were testing on the incoming you would be testing through the meter voltage coil.

Makes sense!.....many thanks Tony.

^^^ As Tony says, L & N are linked by the coil in the meter.
