    IR Test ? Weird issue N-E only

    To be fair I wanted one since company I worked for had 1553 years ago and it was fantastic and this one is a work of art and technologically another universe but this blinking job is driving me bonkers cause it won't let me get a reading L&N to earth or N-E as is refusing to allow 500V or even...

    IR Test ? Weird issue N-E only

    Yes, a few times but only issue it lists is if voltage present, and that at 50V it will inhibit the test.

    IR Test ? Weird issue N-E only

    Goes to ramp up the volts but stops mostly max 15V and reverses back down again, locks out, whereas L-N L-E ramps straight to 550V approx

    IR Test ? Weird issue N-E only

    Love to but some of the fault is on a few circuits as whole board / global IR test was sitting at >999Meg until around 5 seperate circuits were brought online via breakers and then any one of them caused bonkers readings !!

    IR Test ? Weird issue N-E only

    Just ditched my Fluke and bought a shiny new Megger 1731 on NIC assessors advice ! So would it be likely a stand alone IR tester would do something? As I ditched my seperates for the Fluke !

    IR Test ? Weird issue N-E only

    Tried again today, still at job now searching for any issues ! 32 Meg L-N & L-E but N-E won't test nor will L+N -E with switches closed, open, ufh Rcd spur found and isolated, lamps out & in, dimmers swapped for standard switches, main switch off at cu and only L&N out N bar / mcb ! Anyone seen...

    IR Test ? Weird issue N-E only

    I figured in my early testing career that it would save frying any LED downlights or dimmer module etc.. as would take a good while to disconnect all fittings / lamps etc.. straight away. Tested at 100 & 250 V too to save any issues but none would ramp up test voltage to CPC Always done IR with...

    IR Test ? Weird issue N-E only

    Just to avoid stripping out awkward light fittings and dimmers initially to save time before doing full tests. Also thought L&N-E would go through fine but nope

    IR Test ? Weird issue N-E only

    Hey all, just doing some tests on a small extension and have a weird issue with IR on lighting circuit, all switches left open as nightmare to strip all lamps, fittings etc.. L&N to CPC not ramping up over 7-15V DC then resetting test ! L-N on 250V or 500V 31-32 Meg L-E 32.6 Meg N-E won't go ...
