    Voltage Fluctuating between 170V and 330V

I went to the DB board: Between live and earth some circuits were showing 217V and other one were showing 270V. Between Neutral...

    Difference in scrap price between pvc insulated twin & stripped cable.

    I’ve got a hell of a lot of scrap cable in my garage. I know it would take a long time but is it financially beneficial to strip the cable or does it not make much difference?

    On my cu at home I have a continuity reading between my ring final circuit and a radial circuit of 114ohms between live conductors. When I test continuity from each breaker. Why would that be? Break down of cable If I turn one off and leave the other on I don't get a voltage. At what point...

    Just tested the end to end resistance on a ring main at a socket outlet. Readings are spot on however when changing the crocodile clips I notice that I have around 600ohms of resistance between the Line and Earth conductors. The system is TT. What could be the cause of this?
