evenin' all...
just been to a house after a washing machine engineer told the owner that she had 460 ohms at her kitchen sockets. radial circuit.
tested with megger, and got readings of between 21.5 and 4.8k ohms!
tester ok, recently calibrated etc.
ran a trip sequence and tripped out at 49.5ms at 1x but flashes the '>50v'
touch voltage warning at 5x so stops. Ran a ramp test which tripped at 27ma. During continuity tests at socket, if i turned on the cooker hood, the readings dropped to 21 ohms. if i put the lights and the fan on, it dropped to 9.9 ohms.
thinking maybe a L-N fault somwhere but have to go back tomorrow as people were on the way out to 'dinner'. will run full range of tests then
Any other ideas greatly appreciated
Regards
