How's about this for missing the bleeding obvious...

1/ Cct 8 looks interesting......?

2/ Very high R1+R2s on almost all ccts........?

3/ Zs' more or less all the same......?

4/ IR values are very good for the age of the install.(20-30 years)..........?

I don't believe that the person who did this inspection on 12.1.12 would have passed this installation with the KMF fuse housing missing. It has to be a set up job.

50A breaker feeding 6mm cable too.

Ring cont seams made up aswell especially with 1.0mm earth should b higher than that

Anyone spot the characteristics of main protective device...... he quotes the code of the main switch and not the incomming fuse.

I have to confess to having r2 less than r1 or rn in the past, this can happen if there are ,say 2 water heaters(low kw ones of course) for instance linked with copper pipe near the db where you are testing then the r2 will be lower. I say water heaters because at the moment i cannot think of anything else in metal contact forming a lower path of resistance.

r! and rn 0.7 ohms ( 2.5mm ) r2 0.8 ( 1.0mm ) ....... can anyone smell fish?

Funny you should say that, it used to be a Fish & Chip shop

I kid you not. I have not set this up. It's just what I found. The fuse cover was missing with part the bottom inside the unit.

BTW most of the wiring runs in the attic. Most of that has been chewed through by rodents. It didn't matter where I pointed the camera there was chewed through cables and loads of exposed copper on the conductors. I very much doubt their IR results would have come back OK

Ok, It could be that the inspection 'engineer' pulled and removed the fuse with carrier and then told the client to get it fixed. The client, or someone, decided to replace the fuse in the mean time ?

Also, the inspection may not have not included the attic ?

Well there's a bucket load of C2's and the most obvious couple of C1's.

It is, from what you have shown us a rewire pdq..........
