Hi all
Im working as an apprentice and I was in the process of removing a pendant and putting in a large chandelier
I had 3 sets of cables connected to the pendant , 3 browns to loops , 2 blues to N and a blue sleeved brown in SL.
We didnt have any umbrella fixings to fix the chandelier so I connected all browns to 1 piece of teminal block , the 2 N's to another and the Blue sleeved brown to its own.
The result being that all lights in the next room no longer work.
I will add that when I removed the cables the sleeving fell of the Switched live so I asked my workmate to flick the switch off and on whilst I tested for 240V on the relevant blue ,once identified I then sleeved it.
From experience can you guys give any insight into what might have happened ?
