So in my house of horrors yesterday I split the downstairs ring main. I put the utility room on its own as it does power outside and has a dryer and chest freezer
Now when I crimped the downstairs ring main through I had no earth and no end to end on the neutral. I knew I had no end to end on the earth. My guesses is when I've been moving the cables one is on a junction box under the floor and its come loose. All floors in that area or tiled or laminate. The problem I'm having is finding the cable thats faulty
Any experts on fault finding on a ring main?
For now I've put the earths for the new utility ring together with the earths for downstairs so everything now has an earth. The neutral problem I'm planning on down rating to a 16a rcbo until I replace the faulty leg
