No continuity on cooker circuit.

[Iona222]

Not getting a continuity reading on the cooker circuit. I'm doing I.r. test and its low between l. N. Any ideas what the issue could be.

The cooker sockets is working also.

fault finding is not as daunting as some think. you test as you were taught, it's either right or wrong. then you just have to find out why it's wrong.

I was taught continuity ir I,r, test.

You need to visualise the circuit and a drawing helps. With the type of circuit you have this is straightforward if I remember tomorrow I will do some rubbish? drawings.

Westy is spot on here. Draw the circuit. Work out why you get the readings you get. It's not difficult- don't over think it.

You need to prove this so draw three lines, line, neutral and cpc. Leave the cpc with a gap in it and decide how continuity tests will prove the cpc is broken. You have a continuity tester and a lead with croc clips either end.

Zs won't be fine on the cooker circuit I bet.

So, what is the next step you will make?

I'll inform the client he has a fault on his cooker circuit that he'll have to attend to.
