Ring final test from socket???

[Plonker 3]

As long as you test All the sockets on the circuit then any spurs shall give a different reading to the ones on the actuall RFC

The only problem with checking End to ends at a socket (which I often do), is that you leave any paralell paths in circuit, I.e. I have had it before where you get cpc-cpc continuity at a socket but not at the board, turned out to be an undersink water heater. For that reason I always do at least and cpc end to end at the fuseboard

In messy db's it's far easier to test from an outlet

If the rfc cpcs are cross connected to other circuits or extraneous metalwork it will be evident when tested at a socket and/or the DB.
So it proves little.

Small domestic installations are generally under the control of the person inspecting so its unlikely that the client will wake up and turn on the installation to biol a kettle without you being informed beforehand .

If you test at the CCU then you have the option to disconnect all extraneous earth paths. This is not an option at a socket outlet.

However, I use both methods. Because I'm worth it :shades_smile:....... and I'm ****** expensive !

I always do it at a skt, it also gives you a visual
