Try and figure this one out!!!

[youngspark]

Im at the fuse board and there is a fault with one of the lighting circuits. Cut a long story short when the Live is in the breaker the neutral becomes live aswell.
So I presume its a short circuit, I isolate the power and test continuity between Live a Neutral (My tester is calibrated and I tested on a known source before hand) but there is no continuity between the two!!??
Has anyone.... I mean anyone!!! Got an explanation for this?

Post 33, I saw the comment "Not been back" and thought it was the O.P, didn't notice you'd posted it. Thought that might have been obvious.

What thelondonway was saying is that he hasn't been back to one of his clients that hasn't got lights. Not the best way to treat customers, one has to assume hes moonlighting

If the neutral for the lighting circuit is removed from the board and then indicates live then there are only 2 real reasons for this.Either there is a light switched on or there is some other device on the circuit using power,eg smoke alarm or burglar alarm,but it beats me why the op would be doing what he is doing!

Disconnect at cu and do simple dead tests using your MFT. YOU have done little or nothing to demonstrate you have done this or understand the reasoning for doing it so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for ..........

He obviously doesn't want to live much longer.
