Open circuit fault on ring

[Welsh_sparky_21]

What’s the Quickest method of finding exactly where the break in the ring is? It’s on the neutral conductor. Split ring and then join the line and neutral at dB and test between live and neutral at midway on both legs and narrow it down this way?

Yep best way I know

I sometimes do it that way.
Another way, if you are alone in the house, and no-one is watching, and you can unplug everything is to take one end out at the CU and wago each conductor, energise the other end, and then just go around with a socket tester and see what works and doesn't.
If you then do a plug in Zs at the ones that worked, the highest Zs is the closest to the issue.

Or dead test as above but long lead and continuity test from socket adaptor N to one on the N in the DB?

OK till the customer's poodle gets it's canines into your wander lead.
