[QUOTE="mort2376, post: 531705, member: 25787"] As others have said, corrosion on terminals or in old socket. It could have been as simple as earth sleeving in terminal. You tested the cable and proved it was OK, but changed it anyway. A sensible precaution as in your head you know everything is right. Sometimes you never find the answer it's like when you do an eicr and despite everything being unplugged you get a low IR reading, which by rights should trip the mcb or rcbo, but the circuit works fine. Only the ghosts in the machines know the full story ! [/QUOTE]
