Hi I was testing a ring circuit and got some weird r1 r2 readings and just wondered if any one could shed a bit of light as to why as I am a bit puzzled. It is a periodic test!
13 sockets on ring one of which is spur, 2.5 / 1.0 twin and earth!
end to ends done at socket as board a bit messy!
r1 = 0.65
Rn = 0.65
r2 = 1.58
end to ends are ok.
Was expecting. 0.56 r1r2.
but the r1r2 readings I was getting were quote varied, one socket I got 0.50 and some others 0.53, others 0.55 and others 0.57 and that is to the terminals with the socket off the wall!
Yes I had the correct legs linked out!
could this be a ring within a ring! Also do you think this should be a code as all results are acceptable but just seem to vary a bit more than expected!
the socket I got 0.5 at is defo part of the ring!
what do u think!
oh possibility of joints under floor were kitchen sockets have been taken from
general ring, and put on their own circuit.
