Tracing alarm spur

[Richard Burns]

One last thing rather than start a new topic. He's just told me he wire'd a light with 3 wires line/nutral/CPC. using a regular rose.
Any ideas on what he's done??

If he has three cores (L N E) (presumable from one twin and earth cable) coming into the plate and the line and neutral are connected through to the light fitting and the light is working normally on a switch rather than permanently powered then I would say he has "fed the switch" i.e. he has taken a cable to the light switch switched the line and then using the light switch as a junction box for earth and Neutral taken that cable up to the light fitting.

Just to update everyone. The alarm was from the fusebox. Doubled back on its self and was connected with the boiler on a 15amp fuse. Tested wires to find the wire and removed safely. Job done. )
