    My boiler wiring has not gone to plan!

    Temporarily bypassed the zone valves so the system can work as a single zone! It’s only a small three bed!

    UK Why is neutral at 0 volts?

    I’m confused why neutral is at 0v (or close too) in certain situations! TN-C-S system for this example, no borrowed neutrals or faults! A simple lighting circuit! Now I can understand that when the circuit is open neutral would be at 0 volts due to it being connected to the earthing...
