Hi All,
I am new to testing having gained my 2391 in November. I have a question that I need help with, I am working on a caravan site on one of the static caravans which is supplied by a TN-S system and have installed a radial 16 amp heating cicuit with six heaters fed from a 2.5 mm2 t+e with the lenth of run being a total of around 20 meters and isolated by six fcu's. I tested the EFLI at the furthest point using the rear of the furthest fcu and got a reading on my megger mft 1552 which is calibrated of 45 ohms.This seems very high and apart from loose connections which I do not belive to be the cause. Could this be a problem with the supply earth as when first testing for ze I got a reading of 80 ohm's. I set my meter on LOOP, isolated the ccu and removed the main earth and tested between earth and live phase, although I am new I belive that these readings are way to high.
Any help or advice would be welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Allan.
