Eicr no cpc continuity

[cliffed]

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

Asking for advice,that’s what this forum is about,you learn everyday.

Fair enough.

I took post #1 to be slightly tongue in cheek born out of the resigned feeling we all get when faced with a pig of a job. I don't think Cliffed is expecting an answer on here!

Agree,just wondering what others thought & maybe a easy solution.

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.

Sounds good,mention that with a continuity test it bleeps,resistance tester over 200 ohms.

Like a wireless wander lead...…..with or without sound but no resistance value....

crowbar could come handy .have ever watched the film mouse hunt,that is what it is going to be.

Great film! Christopher Walken was brilliant as the exterminator!

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

I thought by the title you were doing an EICR or are you doing the remedial works?

Bloody hell's a cpc anyway?
The man in the pub with the spurs on his boots told me you don't need that....

Yea been asked to

I Asked for advice,obviously you don’t give any,other than useless remarks,have a nice day,hope your day goes very well.

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.

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?

Third bedroom, just inside the door under the floor...

I don’t know why you got a dislike for that - it was the first answer that came into my head as well.
