Discuss Dead short between 3 conductors in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net
What reasons can anyone think of why a circuit would have a dead short across all 3 conductors ?
so far I'm thinking
- water damage
- possible rodent / pest damage
any more ?
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahaA house I went to the other day, a there was a leg coming off a socket going "somewhere" that appeared to hve a dead short across all three, disconnected and then everything was fine, no idea where it went though and everything still worked, it was a radial and house was empty so easy to check everything.
A mystery, but I got my money, rcd stayed in, I walked out the door.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahaha
My thoughts also. Are we talking about a dead short tested with a Mega tester at 500v or a dead short tested with a low-ohm meter. It would be better if you gave us an actual value and what test equipment was used....what was the IR results ...did you do a Ohms test and are you sure no loads were connected ...
If he chopped it back enough so it couldn't be re-connected and the customer's happy, sounds OK to me.
Why waste hours tracking down an irrelevant fault!

I don't see what advantage putting a wago on the end of it has?
If you want to make it safe then connect them all to earth
