Discuss Neutral fault in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Should have said that I did an IR test and it showed 0.02 meg across one leg of neutral-E (no RCD fitted,no PME just some more info I missed sorry guys)everything else tested ok so I know there is a problem,I will start breaking circuit down tomorrow. No plumbing being done or DIY work.
Fair enough mate, I would have also done the same test.
 
meggar between the neutrals at the board, if there is a break in the ring it will show up, if there is a short between neutral and earth it will show up, I would meggar the cores and then do a r1+r2 as well afterwards, anytime there is a fault on a power circuit I would meggar all the cores to see if any breaks or shorts evident.

Buggar that,do an insulation test instead.
