Chaps,

Got a call to check a solid plate hob in a local council youth club... staff have had 2 belts off it.

Above counter metal clad 45A switch is fed from a surface conduit direct from CU containing a 6mm T&E. Fed from a B32 from non-RCD side of wylex CU.

R2 checks out from hob to CU... 0.01 Ohm
Insulation L-E is >250 MOhm
Insulation N-E 30 MOhm
Zs at appliance is as near as damit Ze at CU

insulation test carried out with tails from hob disconnected from 45A switch. I'd expect the same result from L-E and N-E in a stand-alone appliance - is it just opposite ends of an element?

Want to make sure I've not missed anything before I give a clean bill... maybe I'm just being paranoid!

Stones.
