Socket Zs High

[Knobhead]

Moses, please before this develops in to bloodshed. Will you please go away and check your facts.
Your becoming what we refer to as a TROLL. Anything to start an argument.
This discussion could have reach a successful concussion ages ago had it not been for your misinformed, inane comments.

did you disconnect the neon before testing?

Nah. 1st rule of trolling is, start a contentious thread, then make no further posts.
He could be an amateur of course.

Not happy about your comments but I will give you benefit of doubt.

Please correct me, and point out which misinformed comments?

but my point was you dont just condemn the meter....its only as good as the test leads you are using....

Test leads are taken care of when you zero the meter, surely?

not if there faulty....it may appear that they have......

OP's end to end measurements indicate to me that there are no dodgy socket connections.
The difference (too large) between his R1+R2 and Zs measurements rule out non zeroed leads.
There's something else going on here. As someone already asked, where did he take his Ze.

As for the original Q about the one high reading, $%& knows.

Had it before Archy, where the end to ends were fine, and the socket connection itself was iffy, caused by dampness if I recall.

Is there an RCD (not reading through all this again!). Dubious 'no trip' readings?
Maybe he should retry Zsing with the RCB bypassed.

Personally, I'd pass it.

You could try a new CB, may be the Cb is faulty and giving a hi Z ?

May be link it out temporarly and the do a test to see if you get anywhere?
