Just wondering if anyone has any handy tips when trying to identify single core cpc's and neutrals?
I work in a few food factories that are in constant production and switching off supplies is not an option, so identifying circuits can get pretty tricky.
Identifying neutrals is pretty simple as long as the neutral hasn't been stolen for another circuit (which I do come across a lot at one place) because clamping the live conductor and the neutral at the board should read the same amount of current being drawn (assuming it's single phase).
But cpc's are near on impossible. I'm going to get a socket and see or martindale fuse finder which would help for finding where things are fed from, but could these bits of kit be manipulated to trace back through the neutrals and cpc's? I'm guessing they can't but hoping they can!
If anyone could shed some light on any slick techniques that would help me with my problem it'd be much appreciated.
