Continuity at socket on ring main

[ryan77]

Replacing cracked cover on ring circuit, the mcb was turned off , circuit dead
tested with volt meter and got beep continuity on L-N L-E N-E, .
Ring working before replaced the socket front .

Im thinking because appliances with neons pugged in on the ring
and it being TNC system that this accountts for it, but wondering if this right ?
All commets welcome.

Not exactly the correct procedure for testing a RFC.

You haven't tested the circuit properly. Use the proper tester, continuity tester, insulation resistance tester, and test it as you are supposed to do for a ring. r1, rn, r2, R1+R2, then insulation resistance, the will highlight any problems that maybe present, or not as the case may be.

christ kid...

go away, get decent test gear to carry out the job to a satisfactory level and learn how to use it...(preferably not on other peoples property/s)...

and i`ll give you a clue: an AVI is not how we do an r1 r2 rn...is it..

go invest in a low resistance ohmmeter will you....one that can measure to 2 decimal places...

It is, if they are new to the trade and inexperienced or a DIY'er why the hell don't they say so, and then get good constructive help and guidance instead of the usual abuse!

Did you do a Zs on the socket before you took it off the wall?

won`t confirm end to end resistances though...

Well..... if I was replacing an accessory I wouldn't check end to end BUT I would check Zs

right OK...

just the O/P was going on about end to ends...

with a volt meter?
