Recently discovered a socket in my son’s loft. No obvious power to it. Tried a Martindale socket tester, nothing. Opened the socket. It’s a spur. Tested with non contact voltage tester pen and power was shown to be strangely on live, neutral and earth. Then tried a neon mains tester and nothing was detected at all. Tried two different neon testers both were working prior to this. Any suggestions as to why such strange results were discovered?
I was just doing a quick test on a short visit. Cable runs beneath loft boarding. Socket not actually needed but might have been handy.
