    Installed a new C/U now have fault

    This fault would have been picked up after board change. Carrying out the correct testing schedule. Simple stuff this don’t need to be charging for an EICR and then charging for board change, change the board rectify any faults and all sorted.

    Installed a new C/U now have fault

    I’m guessing you charge for full EICR prior to advising a board change? I’ll do a pre survey of standard things like main earth, bonding, condition of accessories (age) advise customer that should any faults be found whilst testing then additional cost involved. Also you test it after completing...

    Installed a new C/U now have fault

    Don’t need to do an EICR beforehand, what difference would that make? When upgrading the consumer unit you have to do an install certificate anyway, Going back to the OP you need to use your tester to find the fault now, Split the ring at board then guess mid point one side should be clear with...

    Storage wall heaters

    I don’t think the infra red heaters are suitable for domestic properties don’t they get incredibly hot and costly they are more suitable to limited heat use in commercial/industrial units the whole purpose of the smart storage heaters is to save on cost/power consumption and safety

    N/E fault RCD not tripping ??

    Right forget about joining them, do them individually I’m certain your lays between N-E put your 2 legs into a connector block for earth and then the other 2 legs for neutral in a connector block. Test them with your probes. You will probs get a big fat 0. Are you still at the property if you...

    N/E fault RCD not tripping ??

    The USB ports will 100% interfere with you’re readings and give false readings disconnect them. So the fault is on the sockets? Unplug everything and then carry out insulation resistance. Once established that the fault is on the ring main. Most likely pain in the arse is N-E fault split the...

    N/E fault RCD not tripping ??

    Well disconnect the usb sockets put the cables in connector blocks then test. Make sure you are disconnecting the circuit in question out of bar/mcb to ensure it’s definitive. I’m a bit confused here sorry it’s late and been working 14 hours again ?‍♂️ You’ve been called back after 6 months and...

    N/E fault RCD not tripping ??

    These are the jobs I hate, because you have to explain to customer that it’s not right even though it appears fine and well. Don’t leave it there find the fault and charge accordingly you’re the last sparky there so when you close that door it’s your neck on the block

    N/E fault RCD not tripping ??

    I’m here to learn just like yourself and Aslong as it’s done appropriately then there is no harm. Best way is to ensure everything is unplugged from sockets

    N/E fault RCD not tripping ??

    Testing at 250v is only beneficial when there is a fault so that you don’t need to subject circuit to 500v however you need to carry out insulation resistance test at 500v to record accurate fault reading and true scale of insulation. I’m trying to test you here ?
