Hi guys,
been to a fault today where customer is saying they have no power to 6 sockets but all other points ok (all power on one ring main)
when I arrived I checked for power with my martindale and got a L-E reverse symbol at the six points. I then checked voltage at the sockets and got 230v L-E and N-E but nothing L-N. So I thought I must have a neutral fault somewhere.
i then checked ring continuity and found the neutral open circuit. Why would it show voltage across my neutral to earth when all loads have being disconnected. I have checked all sockets and cannot find a loose connection. Any advice on where to go next. If you have any questions where I have not made myself clear just ask. Thanks
