    Live bath taps

    I have done some tests today i banged a short length of copper pipe in the ground and connected a 10mm earth cable from it using that as the earth then tested the voltage from that to the cu earth terminal and the meter is showing 50v. The pme when disconnected from the cu is also 50v. I then...

The electrician for his £50 tested the earth bonding the consumer unit's earth and all of the earth wires one by one in the consumer unit. I have checked the rest of the taps in the...

    Live bath taps

    If you put a small amount of water in the bath and place a voltage tester one end in the bath and the other on the tap you get a live reading off of them. Also if you are in the bath and touch the taps you get a shock.
