I replaced a single socket for a double socket for a customer today, and whilst doing the IR tests noticed that the Line/Neutral reading was low.
The readings were:
L/N 0.95 Mohms
L/E 97.6 Mohms
N/E 87.4 Mohms
I checked and made sure that nothing was plugged in on the ring and noticed...
When testing IR on a circuit spplying some outside floods with built in pir's, Is there any other way other than disconnecting the p.i.r in the fitting's?

cheers all :)

Heard recently that we only have to bother with the 0.4 disconnect time for all circuits.
Any thoughts
