Hi all hope everyone's had good weekend.
I am currently studying for 2394/5 and and getting used to testers/testing by doing abit around the house. Where the insulation test is concerned i still have a few questions. I have a 2 way lighting circuit in living room and although i know that i should test both switches to include strappers. The light fitting is 10*12W and has a transformer. Will passing 500v through this potentially damage it? if so how can this circuit be safely tested without taking the fitting down. I also have a SELV shaver socket in bathroom and although i have read (maybe mistakenly) on other threads that i need to just disconnect at board and connect L and N together and test between these and earth. Is this still not going to pass 500v through SELV socket. Also been advised to switch light off in bathroom but i wouldn't think this makes any difference as SELV socket is just looped off light anyway.
Cheers
