Sorry if my post confused you the point that I was trying to make is regardless of this earth fault to socket B.G plugged their socket loop tester in the socket on our landing to prove earth however our boiler is on its own radial not the ring so not actualy proving earth of the boiler circuit.Going back to the socket earthing problem,unless the cables of the live or earth are trapped by the insulation there must be a break in the cable that is make/breaking as being moved.This whole thing dont make sense. If the boiler is on own radial then it has a spur yes? Where does the socket come into it? But anyway clearly the earth makes and breaks when the wires are in different position. And anyway a socket tester will not give you an ohmic measurement. Confused I am.
That was great. I remember I think in arabian nights was it? the conversation about the lotion and the potion that the little guy had to put in someones room, been trying to find that clip for ages, dont spose you have it? I will understand if you aint got a clue what I'm on aboutwho's on first
Clutching at straws, but you only have one cable at the socket with the problem, yes? can you gain access or do you know where it is spurred from? if you do can you disconnect that spur cable and check for continuity, making sure the wires are not broken anywhere, I did say clutching at straws that's all I can add.
causing a break in the loop. therefore the single you attached has pulled in the socket enough to re-create the pushing the socket back into the box and replicated the same break. And as Westward10 asked "what do you mean voltage on the back box" maybe there is a clue there?connect with 1mm wire the earth of the socket to the earth terminal
