Right, so its been one of those long days.
swift breakdown:
top floor flat.
lighting cable is single cores in a conduit system.
was employed to install downlights in 2 rooms.
Really bizarre one for me, ive never encontered nything like this before.
So i tested the original fittings in these rooms to establish an earth path, all was well.
1.16 zs.
wired all my downlights and then crimped onto the switc and neutral at the original fitting.
zs was 1776.
disconected my wiring, still 1776 ohms.
this was the same for both rooms.
ran a new earth from the MET (10mm)
the done a zs with that new earth and across the switch/neutral at the light.
still getting 1776.
Really confused as the ze on the property is really low (0.25ohms)
this problem is only happening on this lighting circuit.
Any ideas on this?
i had plan to wrap up for the big quarantine but ill need to go back out tomorrow
