hi i am qualified and i am being part p certified as we speak
now i am fresh from college and making it on my own i dont have much experiance but have re-wired 2 houses before and they worked completely fine
now onto my problem
i am just testing the the lights up stairs and i have found my earths to be live well i have a very sensitive screwdriver which detects current from me when i touch both ends (so could there be a tiny bit of live in earth or not ?)... the thing is i meggered the wires when i first run them and junction boxed them up and they was fine... also there was no plasterboard on the walls.
will you get any live on the earth before you connect earth from the street ? or should you never get any ?
also the walls are now plastered and i dont want to lose my job by saying we need to take down ceilings and walls
if anyone has any ideas why its gone live, would you think that maybe some screws have gone through the wires ?
