[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 365439, member: 250"] Hmm... This is NEW install.... if someone does a job wrong they do not just write unsatisfactory tell the customer and then expect to get paid for some work that has been done wrong.. It must be corrected retested and then you can ask the customer for your money for doing the job... So three steps that need to be taken... I would suggest.. 1/ Verify your test meter is working correctly... (e.g. batteries good & test it on a check box) 2/ Open up all accessories to verify no cables have been trapped whilst closing up switches or light fittings... 3/ Whist accessories are opened if still unsatisfactory readings re-test individual lenghts of cable to identify which section has poor insulation resistance. This could indicate a damaged cable somewhere, snagged insulation, nail/screw in cable, crushed or damaged during installation. p.s. well done for having a go and giving your thoughts on what the answer should be! (some people expect help without trying first themselves!) Guinness [/QUOTE]
