[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 212164, member: 7"] OK Soulman, you are going to have to go through this methodically, and, this is the crux, you HAVE a broken EARTH path somewhere between your EARTH CONDUCTOR and your CPC , its that simple. Ze = good, connect EARTHING CONDUCTOR to MET, check Zdb = is this OK.? OK so far, NOW, and this is an important test, IR across L-N, and also L-E N-E then R1 R2 on cct, is this OK? good, then do an R2 just to double check. now, ensure you have reconnected all cables to their relevant positions, then check them again. next step, fire her up and you should have Zs, otherwise you havent connected the cpc to the MET. [SIZE=8px][COLOR=#C0C0C0]---------- Post Auto-Merged at 21:55 ---------- Previous post was made at 21:52 ----------[/COLOR][/SIZE] a fluke 1652 will simply refuse the test IIRC, and a little indicator comes on. Im fairly certain it doesnt show >2000 , that rings a bell to me as being a bad earth, plain and simple, EDIT :- my R's / r's are wrong, live with it. [/QUOTE]
