Ok, ok, let's start again with a little more honesty shall we?

Hi i`m new poster and not a qualified electrician but I am at college and hope to be one one day. I have got some homework but can't be bothered doing it all myself so I would be grateful if you could give me the answers to the following question:

I have installed an extractor fan with low voltage light in en-suite and now have to do a minor works tests.
I have done the resistance test an my readings are

l/n 0.8
l/e 1.7
n/e 1.3

earth fault loop 6.13
rcd operation 0.2

are these test results acceptable or do i need further testing.

also how do you do a earth continuity test on a low voltage light when it doesnt have one.

thanks in advance.

Ask the college tutor who has set you these questions. That is what they are there for.

Don't waste ya time Julian mate. He is having a wind up by claiming he is a spark if he asks if 0.8 L-N test reading needs further testing.
Normally i would help and provide guidance but then he starts with a totally unrelated issue.. Joker!!

 

[MDJ]

so guide me then

No not without the RCD readings, if you haven't done these at the minimum then your on a very rocky road

 

[andytucker]

i thought i wouldd come here for help but clearly it is not the friendly forum i thought it was

 

[Plonker 3]

Well people have asked for more information. Yet you dont see to be able to provide it.
