[QUOTE="Marmalade, post: 531643, member: 32391"] Morning all, Asked to replace an old weatherproof socket on a house which the property owner uses for his fish pond, plugged in my socket and see prior to starting the job, earth fault. Checked cables in socket line to neutral 230v, line to cpc not 230v. Socket feed from a fcu in the property this tested out all ok L to N 230v L to cpc 230v. Carried out a continuity test on the cpc to the socket this was ok. Replaced the cable to the socket and now everything tests ok. I haven't come across this fault before. [/QUOTE]
