I'm doing a PIR on my flat and I've come across a fault I can't work out.
I'm getting a very low (about 0.1Meg Ohm) insulation resistance between Neutral and Line conductors on one of the ring circuits. However I'm not getting continuity between Line and Neutral and the MCB isn't tripping.
The symptoms would suggest there's a load on the circuit somewhere but I've unplugged everything attached to the ring and disconnected the neon in the fused spur to the washing machine.
I was getting continuity (230 Ohms) together with a low insulation resistance until I located a bell transformer spurred from the ring.
When I detached the transformer the continuity disappeared and I thought I'd cracked it......but the low IR remained.
The ring is wired in singles in steel conduit.
Does anyone have any ideas on my current situation
Any thoughts wold be appreciated.
