Yes switch and fuse panel. That is from the CU No I need to bury the jbs in the wall as the shelves still need to go up. I'm not a person to give up on my original goals long as its safe! I'm keeping it open for another week or 2 before I seal them in the wall just incase we find there is...

Yes I agree they are not reliable. What I believe is there is a cable coming from the consumer unit (the MCB I sent a photo of) into the plate which has the 4 switches on (which I sent photo of... cooker hob, dishwasher, washing machine, hob). Then the cable which I drilled into is going...

Yes I said it sparked and now I've done some more tests with the wall voltage tester you are most likely right it must or could have been live as its not always picking up the voltage. The photo of the washing machine (label) switch I posted, I previously thought the fuse wasn't working which...

OK so I put the fuse it just to see and now the cable is live. My wall voltage tester is also picking it up which means that the fuse in the kitchen was blown before I even drilled into the wall. Now question is do I just leaving the washing machine on the plate with no fuse or go looking...

I found where the continuity is coming from now. I have a fused plate in my kitchen which has one called washing machine. However my actual washing machine has its own fused switch elsewhere in my kitchen. I tested the fuse and it's dud so I turned off the switch and there's no continuity in...

I've attached photos so you can see the exact one that tripped when I drilled the holes. Before I opened up the wall to locate the cable I drilled I was able to turn it back on without anything tripping.

Not enough wire to pull and join as I drill twice into same cable (First hole drilled through the cable didn't trip anything). I actually used 2 x maintance free box plus extra length of twin and earth to join. I'm guessing that cable isn't powering the kitchen items which is why I'm trying to...

Hi I'm wondering if someone can help. I wanted to put up some shelves in my kitchen so I used a wall voltage tester to see if there was any live cables behind a wall before drilling and it showed none (I know the tester definitely works). When I was drilling a spark came out of the hole and...

On all of the "Socket" circuit... The individual fridge fused switch, and each of the ones on the grid switch.

It doesn't show a Voltage

Just tested and it's registering continuity

The Cooker circuit is showing 245 - 246 when cooker on, sockets off. Are you asking me to test the sockets circuit when cooker on, sockets off as I didn't get that from your initial response?

Unfortunately I don't have the oven connected at the moment but from what I remember when the cooker mcb is switched off and socket MCB on the oven did not work. Just realised do you mean whether the 3 volts is still showing with the oven on but cooker mcb turned off and sockets on?

Its definitely showing the same 245 - 246. Could it not be as pete01 has said...

Yes tried it with cooker on, sockets off and is exactly the same as cooker on, sockets on with normal reading

Hi there, wondering if anyone can give me some advice please. In my kitchen I have a cooker switch with a plug socket which I believe is on a dedicated circuit. If I test it with a Voltage Tester it read all correct as it should. Now if I turn off the Mcb on the CU which is labeled "Cooker" it...
