Hi,
I am in the process of laying out a number of ring mains in my house (renovation...) and once the circuits have been connected to the consumer unit and certified (by electrician), I would like to conduct a further round of testing to make sure I haven't done something wrong and specifically, that a cable hasn't popped out of the screws of the socket connection. I know this will be picked up by the electrician but I am a bit like that....
I have seen that you can buy the "testers" that you shove into the socket and wait to light-up and make a certain buzz. Is this what I should be using or a multi-meter of some description?
This knowledge will also be helpful to test existing ring mains too.
