Why?
Yep
Gives him something to go and find out then.
Go for it.

niceguy - I haven't had a day of formal electrician's training, yet I successfully measured my Ze only a couple of weeks ago. It's not rocket science.
I found the value of 666 ohms quite funny though - lol! That was after the smoke had cleared and I could see the figures burnt onto the screen of my £4.99 multimeter (good job I was in the bathroom at the time so the extractor fan could help with that).
So stop thinking you're so superior to all of us!

Hi Liam,
Who needs training and stuff when we have the internet.
I hope you have a 30 Million Amp RCBDOBC fitted in your bathroom, other wise what you did could have been dangerous.
When testing for dead, you need to probe live and earth, but do it with fingers on the same hand, if you probe live (lefthand) and neutral ( righthand) you will have a heart attack.
Dont lick anything copper coloured

It wont be long before people are crying over their lack of work because they have been handing out free information on a DIY forum.
Then again, i suspect this is where most of you learnt the trade, along side your six week wonder course.
But, if you are happy to let these people take your bread and butter then go ahead.
And no, im not a troll.
I have made a very good living out of the trade before it got watered down.
Thats why i have a big house and drive nice cars and have now taken early retirement with a very healthy pension.
Good luck fellas.
You're going to need it.
You forgot to mention your big head.
Do you really think people will stop doing DIY if they can't get the information to do the work safely, or do you think they will just have a go anyway, just like they always used to before the internet was invented?
Do you think we should ban DIY manuals too, incase they take too much work from us too?
It's not taking my bread and butter. I work on heavy commercial installations.

It is a live test using probes and not recommended without some guidance. You can call your supplier for a reading if you like, or read up on Ze testing and working with live conductors
I refer the learned gentlemen to the aforementioned illustration of a cock.
