Thanks for the advice guys, will have another look at the connections.

I have just passed all my courses, so yes to qualified. in addition to that, think back to when you first started, did you know everything! I know there's a fault, just wondering if anyone know's what it could be, save me loads of time searching for the fault. that's all.

I changed the cu, and did the tests in order. I just can't fathom this fault. Do you think it's a fault at a socket, or a fault hidden under the floor boards. There is a old switched fuse in the ring, no idea what it was for, not used now. The wiring is at least 30 yrs old,

Hi, thanks for replying, I'm aware the rn should be the same as r1, which is why I'm asking if anyone knows if its a fault in the circuit or not. There is a separate main switch between the meter and cu. Is that what would be tripping the test?

Hi, I carried out a test on the downstairs ring. R1 read as 0.58 ohms Rn read as1.39 kilo ohms R2 read as 1.19 ohms. A socket test of L-N gave readings ranging between 0.11 ohms through to 0.45 ohms. one socket gave a reading of 2.30 ohms. I have checked it and there are no loose...

So just make sure I've got this right. 1.my wiring at the rose is correct. 2. I need a 4th block in the light, it only has the three. in this 4th block, I connect the line from the feed cable from the rose, to the com connector in the switch. ( would it be ok to connect the switch wire and...

Sorry, posted my reply onto the wrong feed :oops:

I did consider that, feed a 2.5 mm cable into a 5amp fuse, then run the 1.5mm/1mm cable to the switch. THen run a cable from a switch to the lamp. But the option I chose was an easier option. (So I thought). I might have to go that way if I csn't sort this out.

Hi can anyone help me please. I have put up a outdoor light. (Not pir, just normal on/off). I fed a cable from an existing rose. Live to the centre connectors. neutral to the neutral connector( not the sleeved live). earth to earth.. this is fed into the outdoor light, which has a...
