Remedials On Eicr,no cpc continuity,checked all sockets,still no luck.
Gotta be a junction box,but near impossible to know where.
Any ideas
 
If you've got a tone generator, disconnect both CPC tails at the board then inject a tone into one tail, move along each socket on the circuit until you don't get a tone.
Like a wireless wander lead...…..with or without sound but no resistance value....
 
It’s a code 2,wanted to know what others were thinking,I’ve been asked to do the remedials....worst luck.
I also do know what I’m doing..thank you.
Obviously, when
1. You ask us where the fault is?!
2. You ask what code it is?!
Good luck

If you don't know it already, find out the order the sockets appear on the circuit by connecting L and N at one end and note the continuity readings at each socket. Then connect L and E at one end and check continuity at each socket in the order they appear on the circuit. The break will be between the last socket with L and E continuity and the first without. Might give you a fighting chance of finding that JB.

I Asked for advice,obviously you don’t give any,other than useless remarks,have a nice day,hope your day goes very well.
Did you actually read your original question? Theres no point getting your knickers in a twist when you dont get the reply you want?

To be honest I dont see the point of your thread at all. You said:


What code would you give it.
Maybe changing it to radial circuit,if possible


You ask what code it is, but later say you know it is a code 2 - so what was the point in asking? If it was for reassurance then you are obviously not experienced enough to be doing EICR's. Sorry.

You ask how to fix it (at that point you dont say you have the remedial to do). So I think my comment about why you are there i.e. to do an EICR are justified. You also say 'maybe change it to a radial but at that point haven't even said it was a RFC?! Again (and I'm sorry if it hurts) but if you dont know how to find a fault and how to rectify perhaps you are over your head.

Other than the above, if you are experienced I can only put your thread down to a dumb question ergo I know the answer to these questions but I'll ask them anyway?

Its Friday chill out and stick your dummy back in matey (preferably having dipped it in a big bottle of beer :) )

A bit harsh don't you think?

It’s difficult to advise on an electrical issue when some isn’t very conversant with electrical terminology.
