Discuss No continuity on cooker circuit. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
I'm doing a low ohnms continuity test. I'malso, what continuity test are you doing
Neon on switch between L and N?
also, what continuity test are you doing?
What exactly do you mean by not getting a continuity reading? how low was the IR Test? cooker sockets is working also?Not getting a continuity reading on the cooker circuit. I'm doing I.r. test and its low between l. N. Any ideas what the issue could be.
The cooker sockets is working also.
I have mate. I'm not getting a reading. When I link line and neutral I get 0.10 ohmsWhat reading are you getting. You will only get a line to cpc reading if you have connected a link across them.

Zs for the installion is OK. But everything fine apart from no continuity on the line earth at cooker. Obviously if there's a fault the breaker might to work
Sound mate.
So the means of fault protection wouldn't function then. Additional protection might. But issue needs solving.But everything fine apart from no continuity on the line earth at cooker.
Test cont between LN LE NE IR the same and publish the results,Zs for the installion is OK. But everything fine apart from no continuity on the line earth at cooker. Obviously if there's a fault the breaker might to work

Ah - as he said it was 'working' I assumed it wasn't initial which may have been the wrong conclusion.If this is an initial verification do not energise the circuit for a Zs until this is resolved.
Tell the client the have a fault. They need to get fixed. I'm just doing the eicr. I'm rubbish at fault finding mate.Zs won't be fine on the cooker circuit I bet.
So, what is the next step you will make?

Fear not it does get easier.Tell the client the have a fault. They need to get fixed. I'm just doing the eicr. I'm rubbish at fault finding mate.
The only way to get better is experience. People can teach you fault finding methods but the best way to learn is being left to it and sorting it out for yourself.Tell the client the have a fault. They need to get fixed. I'm just doing the eicr. I'm rubbish at fault finding mate.
I've got 2391-52 mate.Ah sorry. You've got a trainee badge on your status so assumed you were still learning. Obviously wouldn't be doing EICRs if you were. Be worth getting the mods to remove that if that's the case.
I'm rubbish at fault finding mate, suppose improve with experience.Simple one point radial circuits assuming that is what it is are straightforward to fault find and once you achieve this it will give you insight to something more complex, but complex or not fault finding methods are generally the same.
Ok mate, im the big daddy of fault finding. Is that better.If you think that way you always will be. It's a self fulfilling prophecy....
Get what your saying me.Wasn't meant as a dig buddy, I could of probably worded it better but I'm just trying to say if you think your bad at it, subconsciously you won't put much effort into improving.

I was taught continuity ir I,r, test.fault finding is not as daunting as some think. you test as you were taught, it's either right or wrong. then you just have to find out why it's wrong.
You need to visualise the circuit and a drawing helps. With the type of circuit you have this is straightforward if I remember tomorrow I will do some rubbish? drawings.
Its just a cooker circut , pal, im thinking the earth cable is damaged.You need to visualise the circuit and a drawing helps. With the type of circuit you have this is straightforward if I remember tomorrow I will do some rubbish? drawings.
You need to prove this so draw three lines, line, neutral and cpc. Leave the cpc with a gap in it and decide how continuity tests will prove the cpc is broken. You have a continuity tester and a lead with croc clips either end.Its just a cooker circut , pal, im thinking the earth cable is damaged.
I'll inform the client he has a fault on his cooker circuit that he'll have to attend to.Zs won't be fine on the cooker circuit I bet.
