Hello,
I've added a couple of sockets to a ring final circuit, and have taken the opportunity to test the circuit. I've followed the instructions here. My results are:
R11: 1.6
Rnn: 1.6
R22: 4.1
At stage 2 in the instructions, the values between live & neutral for each socket are 1.4 or 1.5 & then between live & earth they're all 1.8 or 1.9 except... one socket gives 2.2.
So I've got two questions:

So I've got two questions:
- Is there any explanation for why I seem to be getting double the value I'd expect for the socket readings? E.g. I was expecting to get (R11+Rnn)/4=0.8 for the first set of socket readings.
- What's with the weird high reading for one of the sockets. I've re-tested and checked the connections etc.
