Is the 20amp sufficient for the both live ends to be connected? I believe there are 18 sockets on the circuit

Very true, the issue I have is its a standard house, 3 sockets in the master, 2 in the remaining bedrooms, one on the landing and hall, then one in each room as spurs downstairs, the confusing part is the fact they all work?

I have access to the first leg as the kitchen ceiling is down, I can trace the second to a point and at that point I believe there is a junction box, its very odd each socket upstairs has the ring looping in and out however each socket down stairs has been spurres off directly from the socket...

All sockets have been double checked and restested, ive also done the half method however im worried that there is a jb which has the loose connection or break which I know I csnt access?

Hi Im new to fault finding and would appreciate any help I can get, I have been called to a job where there is a open circuit on live end of the ring final, I have checked every socket for loose connections or breaks and they all check out good, the house is a 1960s property, I have no access to...

Hi, I have no access ti the floor as its all brand new, I have a open circuite between lives on ring, After investigating im sure its a jb

Cheers John

I appreciate everyones replies! For instance say I test all of these sockets and the between live and earth is 230 and neutral to earth 0 and it checks out fine, also doing a continuity test to each cpc etc, could I put this down to the tester? Also

Im pretty certain on this specific circuit there are no fused spurs however there are 2 outside sockets which i will check. Its a strange one to crack

I believe the sockets with the faults are all continuous after a certain point but like you said yourself that would have to be an unlikely akount of faults just cant get my head around this

Hi Efl I have also spoken to the spark who rewired the property just now & he is pretty certain there are no jbs anywhere in the house, also he is going to drop a circuit diagram through email to confirm the way he run th circuit

Cheers again John, I will meausre between LtoE and NtoE tomorrow with a 2 pole tester, I didnt quite have time today to have a thorough investigation, yes im 100% certain, the sockets the previous spark have used is very familiar, if all the checks come out ok, why could the plug in tester...

Thanks for the awesome response John! Yes you are correct ive take off every socket front and made sure all the correct colours are connected in the correct terminals, so If I use the wander leave method, clamp onto the earth bar at the cu then with the meter check between Line and neutral at...

So are you immplying I use the R2 method and from the CU check there is a earth connection at each socket outlet that has the fault?
