I've had it with leakage current, with 120V ish floating and only 0,08mA there was still quite a spark.I checked for any voltage on the bare earth and there wasn't any and you couldn't feel anything when you touched it but every time it made contact with the metal DB there were small visible sparks. I put this down to ghost voltage and carried on but it is worth thinking about.
True. I see that quite a bit with downlights not being terminated correctly and it's definitely a good point.But this isn't a circuit with[out a] CPC, this is a circuit which has a CPC with no continuity to the MET.
I've been caught out before where the lights weren't earthed and no labels on the CU. With DIY and people not testing it could easily go unnoticed.
