Morning all.
I have just been to a house where there is no power to the 13A FCU feeding the immersion.
I believe I have found the corresponding MCB in the CU although it is difficult to be sure as there is only continuity on the CPC, it is labelled water heater. There is no continuity from the CPC in the FCU to any other CPC's in the CU which also makes me think I have located the correct MCB.
It has not been working for around 6 months. The tenants say no work has been carried out and it just stopped working one day.
It does seem odd that there is a completely clean break between line's and neutral's (L-L >999Mohms, N-N >999Mohms) of the cable and the CPC is intact, barring any parallel paths (unlikely).
I have searched everywhere for a DP switch or timer switch but cannot find one. The tenants say there isn't one and the landlord is unsure.
Am I missing something obvious? The reason I ask is because I will be putting a new circuit in (easier than taking carpets/floorboards up to find fault) but it just seems like there must be another switch somewhere and that's a lot of disruption for the sake of flipping a switch!
