HI all
i'm doing a little re wiring to a workshop and after running a new earth cable to earthing rod i was getting a tingle, I have a circuit tester that just has some led lights 400v, 240v, 110v ohms etc,
The situation inside is a split with the downstairs being a workshop and the upstairs being a self contained flat,
there is a professional installed consumer unit upstairs, which all looks neat,
I've disconnected the workshop and just connected the flat to the double pole rcd (really old), run the upstairs earth to the new consumer unit in the workshop
Touching the end of the earth cable and the rod the 240v led glows.
bridging the meter between the earth and neutral gives a 240 reading as well,
erm.... help
