Had a quick call out to attend this evening. Currently closed but call was from a mum in need So I popped past with only my call out (light tools) in the car boot.
4 lights, one bathroom fan and a smoke alarm fed by a B6 MCB Protected also by an RCD.
Fault = no lights on the circuit working.
I quickly found the start and end of the circuit, so at the start I disconnected the loop so I could test the feed And work from light to light.
Using my fluke T5 the feed has the following:
Phase to earth = 240v
Phase to neutral = 35v
Neutral to earth 120v
the ceiling above is all a flat roof so no loft access.
I’m going back tomorrow for a proper look as I ran out of time.
Anyone had this type of fault before?
