Related to the above, is it the case that if I was using my Fluke 2 Pole tester on a socket across L and E and if unknown to me, the earth continuity was broken further up the ring chain, my 2 pole tester will not detect power at the socket I am testing?
If you haven't disconnected anything prior to testing, then there will be earth continuity from the other leg and therefore you will get voltage between L and E at the socket. So you may well miss the broken earth fault.
