I have a supply in a log cabin, in the cabin is 6 double sockets and a couple of lights. Cables are in PVC conduit and are 2.5mm singles sockets and 1.5mm lights.
Sockets
L-L = 0.15 ohms
N-N = 0.15 ohms
E-E = 0.18 ohms
L1 with E2 & L2 with E1 = 0.07 ohms
L to E = >1000+ MG Ohms
N to E = >1000+ MG Ohms
L to N = >1000+ MG Ohms
Ze at board is 0.28 ohms 843 Amps.
Tested at socket Uc Rl 20 Amp 60898 type B
Socket 1 1.62 ohms 50V 0.04 V
Socket 2 1.29 ohms 50V 0.03 V
Socket 3 1.65 ohms 50V 0.05 V
Socket 4 1.62 ohms 50V 0.04 V
Socket 5 1.52 ohms 50V 0.04 V
Socket 6 2.12 ohms 50V 0.04 V Zs value to high.
This socket is approximately 300mm through a wall away from another socket. Only difference is that it is a waterproof socket with a neon indication. I have tried inserting the plug in and out numerous times in case of bad contact. I have taken the reading from the rear of the socket across the terminals and still the same problem. I am trying to come up with a reason for this.
Could change the mcb for 16A, but still can’t find the reason why it should be different than the others.
Any ideas?
