Discuss How do you disconnect neon lights in sockets while doing insulation resistance test. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Really, i didn't know it was that simple lol, thanks, would that be ok when doing AM2Leave the switches in the off position....none involved.
Yeah that's true, thanks.Well, you're not actually testing the sockets, you're testing the wiring and connections, the circuit.
Well that reminds me, if you were doing an insulation resistance test on a row of LED lights, would you have to disconnect them all if they had sensitive electronic parts in themAlso if you are testing L+N to E (as you would do for any vulnerable electronics like non-removable LED lights) then you won't see the neon.
During installation you really should try and test L-N before the lights go in, afterwards you probably would just test L+N to E (connected to MET) as disconnecting and reconnecting adds the risk of introducing more faults than you might have started with.Well that reminds me, if you were doing an insulation resistance test on a row of LED lights, would you have to disconnect them all if they had sensitive electronic parts in them
Right interesting, cheers.During installation you really should try and test L-N before the lights go in, afterwards you probably would just test L+N to E (connected to MET) as disconnecting and reconnecting adds the risk of introducing more faults than you might have started with.
If it is wired in T&E (most domestic, quite a lot of the rest) then the CPC lies between L & N anyway so most cable damage or faults will show up as L or N to CPC fault within the cable, or L/N to external fault back via MET if cable cut/crushed against steelworks, other cables, etc.
