OP
trev
Well he got 0.42 ohms from something. Could have been anything of course, no mention of whether that was a continuity reading, IR, Ze, Zs....nothing.

Trev..tell me bud, how do you get a Zs value from a dead circuit exactly? Read my posts before commenting
The job is not a freebie the boss pays for it.
I have calibrated testers.
Telectrix..spot on for getting it
Second income? Are you a comedian Murdoch? This is the boss's house.
can see trev's point , though. you stated a 0.42 resistance reading, but did not explain very well. face to face, you'd have had a reply 0.42 ohms what? on a forum, it's difficult to see what you mean without a full explanation. my irish grandmother might have known, being the seventh daughter of a witch, but otherwise it's guesswork.
give the guy a bit of slack, lads. he's said it's his boss's house. boss has probably asked him to have a quick look. most likely on his way home for a freebie. he's had a quick look and is now seeking pointers. which he's had. now let him go back, find the fault and, hopefully, report back as to what it was.
The 0.42 ohms reading was the highest reading taken between cross connected L and N and measured at the furthest point which was a spur for a gas boiler. I dodn't get a chance to take an R1+R2 or IR test. My tester is a megger mft1720 by the way.
