Discuss >50v on megger when doing ELI test in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I've got a megger mft 1552 and if the above 50v touch voltage appears meaning the voltage to earth is above 50 it will abort the test as it has an inbuilt safety setting whether it be efli or rcd testing
 
No RCD on the circuit no was a basic socket replacement and went to do a ELI and found this issue so thought i would investigate further and IR tested the circuit and found the N-E fault,it just seemed weird when i tested with the faulty cable isolated the fault cleared. Like you say it may be my meggar it just threw me as never had this issue before.
 
Have you cleared the fault and retested. I am confused with this because a fault on one side of a ring final should also occur on the other.
