I tried to replace a LV transformer for some downlighter the other day but couldn't turn the power off!! I know this sounds odd but initially I tried removing each fuse, still power to the junction box in the loft. I then turned the power off at the consumer unit and still there was a residual current showing at the junction box. I only tested this with a standard electrical screwdriver so cannot be sure what the voltage is. Needless to say this worried me so I explored around the house and found at the copper pipe in the airing cupboard also gives me an electrical reading.
Is this a live/earth crossover and if so how can this happen with the consumer unit turned off?
Help cause its driving me insane
