Ring ir very low

[golfpaul]

Changed a cu, doing IR test on the ring comes in at 0.28 l-n, l-e is greater than 200.
Disconnected boiler, neons etc, any ideas?

Did you change the CU before testing? what was the IR between N and E? ideas well something still plugged in, TV booster fed from the RFC in the roof space, anyone fitted any shelves plenty more where they came from

As above then I would then split the ring bit by bit to find out where the problem is remembering to keep the tester on 250v until you find it !!

Washing machine! .... you mean that big unit sized lump of metal ... can really understand you missing that one..:crowngrin:

If it were a concealed aerial booster or even the ignition on a gas hob then I could understand but a big metal box approx 1m by 0.6m hmmm facepalm!
