wago terminals and wiska 2 part gel

[Jigglybuf]

Anyone had much experience using wiska boxes with wago lever terminals
And using the wiska 2 part gel to fill boxes?

After testing continuity after filling the box, am getting continuity between live and neutral showing
a dead short between conductors! Is this just occurring during the curing process? Or are these products just not compatible?

I'm more of a domestic indoor kind of guy, so don't encounter underground joints too often as I struggle to trust them!! which is why I'm asking.

What cable are you joining?

Did you use 3 x 2 port wago connectors?

It's splitting supplies to external lights, so I used 4 port lever connectors. All conductors are copper.

Ther should be no problem with the gel, or the Wagos. The gel has no continuity even when curing. Sounds like a wiring fault.

Did you test continuity and operation before you gelled it?

Silly question I know but are you testing L-N with anything connected at the other end ?

 

[Taylortwocities]

Good question, but its a "dead short" so, by definition, no more than zero ohms.

 

[Hellmooth]

Did think of asking the same question......

Yeah but he wouldn't be testing insulation resistance on a continuity setting, at 500v [or even 250v] test voltage a connected low current load wouldn't indicate much above zero on the Megohms scale.

The OP clearly stated he tested continuity and found a dead short.
