    Continuity Tests

    Is the continuity test for circuit protective conductors, the same test for ring and radial circuits or is there a different test for each type of circuit? Also what is the difference between testing for cpc continuity and testing for continuity for ring final circuit conductors?

    Hi, I apologise if this is in the wrong section, but I did not see a specific forum for help. My induction hob has packed in today, it simply won't turn on. There is simply no power to it. It is around 1 year old. I have changed the fuse with one that I have taken from a working appliance, no...

    No main bonding seen but good continuity.

    Evening.. I have just completed an EICR. The incoming gas pipe has been hidden behind kitchen units. I have dismantled the plinths, emptied the cupboards and used my inspection camera all to no avail. I cannot see any main bonding. I can just get my hand through an inspection hole cut in the...

    Earth electrode, continuity

    Hello guys, I was hoping you could help me understand the following points!! 1. Supplier says that Ze = 21 ohms. I test the earth electrode resistance (dead method) and get Ra = 72 ohms. Is Zs more or less = 72 + 21 = 93 ohms? I know from Regulation 411.5.3 that that this should be true (d =...

    Continuity Testing reliability

    Friday I was getting continuity readings from my tester which start with a reasonable figure then drop off the scale to 0.00. This tended to occur more on the existing circuits rather than on new circuits. can someone shed any light on this?

    Voltage continuity tester

    Can anyone recommend a good voltage and continuity tester? Nothing fancy but audible continuity test would be handy. And perhaps with a carry case? The NICEIC assessor wasn't too impressed 18months ago with the state of mine and I must be due a assessment again soon..... i think it may have...
