Why would i get low readings to earth? unless there is a problem?Lectrician said:Re -read Tim.
I am happy with L+N to E on in-accessible fittings, but do not be surprised to get surpisingly low readings....
I would not bother trying to remove starters on fittings that are high in the sky.......and what happens to the cap that is directly across L to N?

Look at what exactly?
Have you ever tested before or are you simply talking the test?
Several chokes will inevitably give you a low reading to earth - I am not saying a fail type reading, but a low reading.

Of course as an Electrician myself, talking not sure what you mean?
Depends on what your definition of "shocking readings" were, if not failure readings then what was the problem you were trying to get at?
If the "low reading" was within the stated limits and passed then no problem.
hire a scissor lifter
Your guvnor's should be locked up for leaving the key with it.Balenza said:Yeah I guess. I can still see the look on that apprentices face.
I wasn't expecting it to go out as far. I think mebbe the wheels were a wee bit soft .
It was after hours on the site as I knew enough not to try a stunt like this with the guvnor's around or it would be pack up your tools time.
I dont have any training for these lifts hence the reason why we waited till the guvnor's went home.
Gaz the Sparky said:I could be wrong but im sure i have read somewhere that if carrying out an PIR then the regs state if the fittings are inaccessible then you can just test up to the switch with the switch off which isolate the fittings
Can anyone confirm this ?
