Hi guys, first time I have posted on the site so looking forward to hearing from you all. I am carrying out a kitchen refit and while testing the ring circuit I have come across a lack of continuity on the CPC circuit. I have carried out testing using the two ends and a R2 wander lead and have managed to track down the break which is situated somewhere between two socket outlets in the study. To test the continuity I temporarily bridged the two earth points n the sockets with a length of 1.5mm earth flex but then obtained the following results :- r1 0.80, rn 0.78, r2 0.30 furthermore the R1+R2 readings average 0.69 for all sockets except the two in the study which read 0.10. With the bridge left in and the circuit energised the average ZS reading was 1.18 with the two linked sockets reading 0.30. Client not keen on me ripping up the house to find the break but beside that I am confused by the readings I have got. Any ideas guys ?
