Insulation Resistance

[rattlehead85]

Forget about the RCD anyway. First up you need to determine if you have installed a low voltage light 230v or an Extra low voltage light 12v. Do you really have an earth connection or not.
Secondly with insulation resistance results like you claim to have i would definately be looking further into the circuit with regards to its condition and suitability to be adding a light and fan onto it in the first place.

sounds like your trying to come out without actually admitting it,

oh and you forgot the bit about being unable to reverse

and do electrics.

think OP has had too much beer with female hormones in it. after a skinful, you undergo a sex change.

1. you argue about nothing. 2. you talk a load of irrational crap. 3. you can't drive. 4. you cry for no reason. 5. you can't see past the end of your nose.

Spot on mate!!

 

[andytucker]

it has a 12v transformer which does not have a seperate earth to connect to the lighting circuit

Due to memory loss/will to live. I'm now reading the post from the beginning

 

[andytucker]

if you want i`ll start again

 

[telectrix]

you only IR test to the primary side of the transformer, or, as transformers for this situation are generally class2, to wherever the cpc of the circuit is terminated. ( for details of termination, ask arnold )

Hi i`m new poster, qualified electrician

also how do you do a earth continuity test

?????? stick your thumb in a socket and pee in the sink at the same time when the tap is running, depending on the volume of your screams you will have an idea of the readings

yes please, by the way welcome aboard :rockon:

i have done ir tests at the consumer unut with power off, all lamps removed and all switches on/closed. i did not remove the earth or neutral for the connection bars in the consumer unit when i done tests.

 

[rattlehead85]

So it isn't a low voltage light then. Seriously mate you really need to stop NOW before you end up hurting either yourself or somebody else!
Get somebody qualified to get this sorted. You are working within a special location which requires correct protective measures. You have nothing correct not even a healthy circuit to connect to so stop the nonsense and do the decent thing.....CALL A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN!!

OH< GOD, Please NO. ( black sabbath )

 

[andytucker]

i need to know why the ir tests are low

 

[electric will]

i need to know why the ir tests are low

so do I

 

[andytucker]

so help me solve the issue please

Are the values in the OP ohms on continuity?

Not IR at all.

Don't know why I'm bothering.
