Checking a borrowed neutral

[westward10]

Sorry Loz had to stack some zeds, your drawing would seem to be correct.

Hi @loz - sorry to see this has gone off-topic so quickly, but I'm siding with @westward10 on this, your drawing seems to be correct. Lamps in and switches on, you'd get some sort of short neutral to neutral on a borrowed neutral. Flick the switch off and retest and it'll come up clear.

Closed for now, we'll deal with it later.

Back open again after a cleanup, please let's keep it on track from now on or it will be closed for good.

Sorry Westy, try now

@westward10 can you reply now mate.

 

[hightower]

@GMES why was my post deleted?

 

[GMES]

@hightower, your comments were removed because the latter part of the post was reported for the swearing and that it was seen as argumentative, so it was removed as part of the cleanup mate, also Sparks is now banned for a week for his comments so let's move on and and get the thread back to where it started.
Cheers.

I appreciate that but I first made comment in regards to the original question - thought it could have just been edited to take the 'not so good stuff' out. Oh well.

So Loz is the problem clear to you now. This situation often occurs with the landing light and often that part of the circuit is wired using pvc/ pvc singles.

fortunately, there's not so many singles seen these days. i put that down to the likes of eHarmony, match, elite, and all the other internet dating sites. gives credence to the saying " a dog is not just for christmas".

Wonder where else sparkburnout will troll if he's banned for a week?

Yeah crystal clear, I had it in my head, just needed a bit of confirmation on proving the fault, before powering the board up, which I had done but wasn't confident in myself. One thing I have learned is that things are so much clearer once it's drawn down on paper.
Both lights have been put on one mob for the weekend and I'm booked in on Monday to put a permenant live into the landing rose as well as a new switch drop and a 3 core downstairs to reinstate the 2 way switching correctly and enable me to split the circuits onto separate rcds. Shame it will be trunking drops but hey ho, can't win them all.
Thank you for your help

Plenty of fish every time. I'm happy with my dog for life, wouldn't mind the mrs just for Christmas though

...and to lighten things further,it is a little known fact,that most hallways and landings,have multiple singles in them...just usually during a party

 

[loz]

I'd love a house full of singles but we live in a modern world and I think I'd prefer twins
