2 Circuits, 1 MCB

[DanDobson]

Good evening all,

I get a decent amount of work from a kitchen company and do all the electrical work for them.
As expected each one has its challenges, but this job i've looked at today has a kitchen ring on a 32Amp MCB, and its own cooker circuit on a 32Amp MCB.

Once I isolated the cooker circuit to start making the necessary changes, when I tested I am still getting 150v between live and neutral? does anyone know why this would be?
I have used my old and new Fluke meters and my martindale volt meter to check one or other wasn't failing.

With all the issues ive come across in kitchen re-wires, I haven't had this yet.

Any help and ideas would be much appreciated

Dan

Yes I have a very good idea, have you tested between cores with 500 volts? have you also tested continuity ? have you confirmed there are no joint boxes sending cables elsewhere off the main ring? lets get back to basics.

He's already sussed it lol.

Lets get back to basics...? is there a need for that comment, ive sorted the issue with help from other users as I stated above... basically!

I think MDJ had overlooked the posts where you said it was all resolved when he posted this, it wasn't posted in any negative context its often a term used when the OP is getting muddled or confused with a problem.

As the original query is resolved I'll close the thread as there is no ongoing discussion taking place.
