Hi guys, just after some advice and reassurance in what I'm doing as not encountered this fault before. So I have an earth/neutral fault.
Plug an appliance in trips in the RCD in the db. I have continuity between earth and neutral in the sockets from different circuits.
Now if I use my IR tester, drop out each neutral one at a time from each circuit and test between this and the earth bar in the board, this will tell me what circuit the fault is on? Then once found simple estimate where the middle of the circuit is and do the same? Go from there til I find the fault in the circuit?
I'm thinking likely a loose neutral connection shorting to earth, or damaged cable somewhere.
Thanks for and help in advance
