Started on a job today, where the customer wanted a new consumer unit to 17th edition standards, and a check over of Electrics which they know is something weird.
Started doing some testing before i ripped it all out tomorrow, and found Circuit 1 and Circuit 2 supplying the main ring, only dead when both fuses are pulled, further investigations into ring found the two wires that were in circuit 2 were not the ring, but doing a continuity test found the ring was the live from circuit 1 and one of the lives from circuit 2.
Another find was the third wire was a positive reading with one of the legs of the ring, but not both.
I hope this all makes sense, because i was struggling at start.
In summary 3 wires on two circuits we shall call R1, R2 and R3 for ease, R1 and R2 have continuity, also R1 and R3 have continuity, but R2 and R3 don't, as I want to seperate these whats the quickest way to investigate this problem.
