Hello,
New to the forum.
Advice please.
Just run a new circuit of 6mm cable from a 32A MCB, on an additional new CU, which is to run a SPA in a back garden. There is a shut off switch installed for the Spa and an additional fused spur with sockets in an IP rated enclosure.
All readings fine, including IR on L-cpc and N-cpc, which were >299.
However IR on L-N is @ 52M ohms and unstable, i.e. moving up and down, which I believe is indicative of water ingestion into a cable somewhere. It has been very wet during the installation, so this is highly possible. I'm aware that 52M ohms is acceptable, although not ideal on a new circuit.
My question is, the SPA is due to be installed in two days time. Would it be DANGEROUS for any reason to install it before getting a perfect IR reading?
Grateful for any advice.
