Low IR N-E

[vespa]

Just wondering if anyone can offer a plausible explaination for why i might get the following IR results for a lighting circuot: L-E 6Mohms : L-E 300Mohms : L-N 300Mohms . I cant understand what the relationship between E-N has the effect of reducing the resistance that L doesn,t. Someone mentioned to me that it could be damp conditions but this does not pan out as it does not have this affect when tested with the L. Perflexed !!!!!! Any brain boxes out there got a better explaination ?

Sorry it should be N-E 7Mohms

L-E 6Mohms and 300Mohms?
Edit. I was too late!
6,000,000 ohms is nothing to worry about but you've probably got water in something

meh..
neutral happens to be slightly damper then the live or touching a damp box etc.? I can assure you this isn't usually the case sometimes damp causes L-E to be low
