    pulling out the few hairs I have left! - INSULATION RESIST.

    << I’ll have the circuits tested individually. If that fails , it looks like the CU could go to the scrap yard as it is that old >> Thank you to you all: Mike (mapj1) , Paul (paulh53) , Felix , Lectrician and Breezer ! Any opinions :idea: on this one, please ? -How do you...

    pulling out the few hairs I have left! - INSULATION RESIST.

    Many thanks to you both Felix and Lectrician ! I’ll do the circuits individually. If that fails , it looks like the CU could go to the scrap yard as it is that old. Just the last one please , chaps : How can you check CPC continuity which is incorporated inside steel trunking and...

    Cheers Lectrician You have one prong on the busbar, and one on the neutral bar?? - yes MCB's off or on?? - on How many circuits/mc's? - I have 5 Thanks :oops:

    Thanks for your reply Lectrician. Is the DB a submain?? - no, main board Was the CU main switch OFF?? - yes Is there an RCD or RCBO (mcb rcd combined) on the busbar - this will affect the reading - no I cannot figure it out at all :cry: Regards.

    pulling out the few hairs I have left! - INSULATION RESIST.

    Thanks mate but it's insulation resistance test, I only got 0.01Mohm NOT 0.1m ,plus test on light circuit afterwards was fine . Here is the initial question : doing an insulation resistance test at DB between live conductors. Phase on busbar & neutral terminal. 500 VDC setting (Fluke...

    pulling out the few hairs I have left! - INSULATION RESIST.

    Thank you for your reply Lectrician. On alternative insulation test, voltage was fine , everything correct , except for weird readings on this circuit test. System working fine, new circuits, OK Don't reg-s state that lowest should be 0.5 Mohm , moreover H & S want minimum 2Mohm...

    pulling out the few hairs I have left! - INSULATION RESIST.

    Many thanks breezer! First couple of tests were done on SAME circuit ; on ring main circuit , with conflicting readings each time I tested. As stated above: - test reading 0.01 Mohm !!! - test volt ONLY coming up to 10 VAC last test on light circuit was fine and battery is ok...

    pulling out the few hairs I have left! - INSULATION RESIST.

    What on earth is happening? doing an insulation resistance test at DB between live conductors. Phase on busbar & neutral terminal. 500 VDC setting (Fluke 1653) - test reading 0.01 Mohm !!! - test volt only coming up to 10 VAC phase-earth 500VDC = 9.63 Mohm neutral-earth 500VDC...
