Evening Guys
Need some "light" shedding if possible on a PME Installtion
About to change a secuirty light which is wired to the light circuit.
Live to Neutral 0V
Live to Earth 230V
Neutral to Earth 230V worrying
The cabling is almost impossible to trace it goes into the wall down and "disappears." I have lifted the boards I can get to but now need to start knocking the wall down to physically trace the cable.
Turning off the light circuit downstairs I get 0V so its definately connected to that circuit . Killing the sockets has no effect
I get continuity for earth and line to the nearest light fitting but not for neutral.
New consumer Unit Installed about 6 months ago , but not sure if the light was working before that. Any suggestions welcome.
Just to confirm the light is wired to a 3 way light switch for the hall and landing but only the line is connected, there seems not to be a return to the light yet it still functions by switching the switch so totally at a lost.
All voltage light fittings downstairs are correct.
Still a newbie so be gentle
Any advice appreciated.
Many thanks
Thinking about just cutting and replacing but would rather solve the issue.
