Hi
I bought a holiday lodge last month and decided to test the circuits to see how they measured. The lodge itself is fed from a central point in the holiday village by a 16mm PVCSWA. The main earth wire terminates into a MET it looks to be a 10mm earth that is crimped onto the incoming earth, I cannot see what its crimped onto as the head the mains terminated into prevents this. Anyway I carried out the the normal tests on the circuits R1 R2 RN and these tested all within the expected parameters as an example the one of the rings measured R1.24 RN.24 R2 .39 and R1/R2 .25.
The other circuits all tested within expected parameters. The Ze measured .6, however when I powered up and did a Earth Fault loop impedance test the machine measured 23 ohms, this was repeated on all the sockets and the same measurement. Assistance required please as to the possible reason (s) for this.
