[QUOTE="KenL, post: 552119, member: 31474"] My daughter asked me to look at the supply to her garage and the lights and sockets did not work. She has just moved into this property about a month ago. I have worked on electrics in my job as an A/C engineer, wiring three phase between air handlers and condensers and connecting the supply into the air handler. I removed the 13 amp socket and it is supplied by a four core cable the Live and neutral (red and black) show 124 volts, if i between the red and yellow i get 240 volts. The sockets are wired using the red and black (124volts) At the dist board all the MCB's are marked up as you would expect, lights, sockets, Central heating. There is one with a question mark, but at the time i did not have enough time to switch this supply off. ( had to go somewhere else) I am confused as to why i would get 124 volts on two cores. I have said she should get an electrician in. Any help appriciated. [/QUOTE]
