Does anyone else always Zs test both sides of a double socket like me ?

 

[EFLImpudence]

I do.

In a flat before CU change.

Testing ring final - end to ends fine.
Most R1+R2 at sockets, with plug-in adaptor, way out.
Testing conductors behind fine.

All but one socket knackered.

Several diifferent makes, just old, worn and full of muck.

As in the old stuff that I ripped out of my cottage. Some of the double 13 amp sockets would have given different results for each of the sockets had they been tested. Mostly due to corrosion in damp walls.

But far more worrying is :-

A buyer for one of my clients told me sometime ago that some cheaper "no brand" electrical imports have been found to have rivetted connections between the wire terminal and the socket contacts which due to poor ( non existant ? ) quality control are not riveted properly. As the rivets are inside the moulding they cannnot be inspected by the installer.

Ive had problems with all of the Click range mainly the Switched FCU's. Had no power to extractor hoods or whatever and turned out that whilst it was supposed to be double pole it wasnt switching the neutral on, just the line.
