Discuss First eicr and low iR readings in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Thanks wilko, gave my self plenty of time,all day in fact, and took off every to the best of my knowledge socket front, yes same place as the other thread and the cpcs on the older (pre 2005) wiring are all blackened/carbonisedHi - the heating system (with its pumps and motorised valves) is always suspect to me and easily removed from play with the DP FCU. Try testing at 250V (L+N to E) as there may be surge suppressors somewhere getting lively. If you’ve time and out of interest I’d whip the fronts off all the outlets and see if that changes anything. If this is the place from the other post, I recall from the cutout pic it had heat affected tails, so there might be further carbonised insulation...

Hi - this visual info could explain the low IR and would suggest those cables need to be replaced.and the cpcs on the older (pre 2005) wiring are all blackened/carbonised
Blackened?! Any pics? Not familar with that at all. Is the whole place full of oily soot from wok fires or what? That could be a significant factor in low insulation.
Sorry for the delay chaps.....Hi - this visual info could explain the low IR and would suggest those cables need to be replaced.
Same @westward10, I’m starting to think sections have been removed in the pastLooks like it has oxidized. What's it like with the sleeving off.
