Safe isolation Continuity between live and neutral main switch

[Electricalserv]

At the board I have isolated the installation, when proving dead my voltage tester is indicating continuity between the live and neutral terminals of the main switch. No voltage just continuity. Switched all mcb's off and on and found when 2 radials are on its indicating continuity!

Any reason for this guys?

something plugged in giving you a circuit? Or a neon on a switch. Could be a number of things....

il unplug everything and let you know...its on both radials though...

As I said, could be a number of things on both circuits that could give you continuity.

As a sanity check check it both sides of the main isolator (exercising caution of course). To determine whether you have a supply or circuit side problem.
