Hi All,
Bit of a tricky number. I have recently installed lights / fans /toothbrush chargers and shaver sockets to a bathroom and En-suite. The house had been rewired a few weeks before(not by me). I tied into the existing lighting circuit and everything works fine apart from both extract fans with timer. The fans run on but never stop. I replaced both thinking it might be a bad batch. The ones i replaced did the same thing. with further investigation i discovered that i was getting 40 - 90 v between earth and neutral. I'm assuming this is effecting the run on timer. I have carried out ins res on every cable i installed and everything was clear. When i used my test lamps to check the other lights on the circuit i found i was getting the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas? Also the all circuits are on rcbo's but it isn't tripping.R1+R2 is fine and getting a decent ZE at consumer unit.
