If it were tested as a radial, then it presumably would 'pass' the continuity tests. However, that would leave the possibilty that a broken 'ring' or bridged 'ring' may have gone undetected.
Indeed. As I said, I think the more labelling and documentation the better!
I assume it was tested, as it would appear, as a ring.
I'm getting a bit confused, and have been moved tho read more carefully what you wrote in your last post. You wrote:
Are you saying that the 6mm² 'stick' of the lollipop enters the CU as two very short 2.5mm² cables in parallel? If so, was that just someone's attempt to 'deceive' anyone looking at it into thinking it was a conventional ring? If that was the setup, then any continuity testing of those two (parallel) 2.5mm² cables will obviously have been meaningless, and one would have thought that the extremely low resistance would have caused alarm bells to ring! ... or have I misunderstood you?
Yes exactly that.
Hmmmm! What on earth are the test results on the EICR for the 'ring' that was apparently tested.
In that case, if I were you, I would certainly do that - for the sake of future electricians etc.!
