Guys
I'm baffled - Scenario - Junction box with 4 cables - Main feed, Switched T/E, Cable from switched live/neutral to Light, Feed to FCU for seperate outside light.
The cable to the FCU is LSF cable.
The cable to the light is LSF cable.
Other cables grey pvc.
Why LSF? My customer wanted white cable and I couldn't get pvc in white.
By chance I tested the earth cable to the FCU - LIVE!!
Checked the JB. All connections correct.
Earth connection in the JB is live.
I can see the whole length of the LSF cable and there is no damage.
Switch cable goes intothe wall and has been plastered in.
Grey Cable to the switch - both conductors live (without the switch connected)
JB checked and is cabled correctly. No other feed to the circuit.
Why is the earth reading live both with a neon tester and a volt stick?
Why is the switch cable live at both conductors at the switch end and when live feed is connected - live at the JB end with no switch to make cinnection?
