Hi!
Need to pick some brains as I am truly stumped by this one
call out to a flat with nuisance tripping. On arrival tested circuits and all IR tests between LE were coming up relatively low, between 0.50-0.80 with the exception of ring main coming out as 0.01. There has recently been a leak from upstairs water tank so must be water somewhere, but at no outlet is there any sign of water (we checked lights, sockets, the lot) No sign of water in DB. Now the tenant told me not only was the RCD tripping but the main switch also. Now as far as I was aware these are isolator a only but low and behold whilst I was there I witnessed it trip, as well as the off peak board (was a late night call out).
For the sake of the tests, after removing the main fuse I also tested meter tails, showing up as 0.00 IR between LE but fuse won't blow and seems fine? Got my other fluke tester out as I was convinced my multimeter was going up the spout...same results.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Either I'm not as good as I thought I was or the flat is haunted haha
any advice is massively appreciated!
thanks
