hi, just to start out, im not an electrition so please be nice
a week or so back our shower stopped working completly. we have a power cable from the electric meter box thing to a switch in the airing cupboard, and then a cable from there to the shower. the light comes on on the switch in the cupboard IF the shower is turned off, but as soon as you turn on the shower the light goes off. ok, so we thought dead shower as it was cheap, so purchased a new one. fitted it and same issue so i got out the trusty multimeter and did some tests.
electric meter to switch :
+/N = 240v
+/E = 240v
switch to shower :
+/N = 64v
+/E = 240v
not sure if any of this makes any sense or is any use at all, but i am stumped as to what to do now.
