its for a training course I've got to do in a couple of weeks. We have to demostrate that we could isolate and lock off a supply for work to be carried out. I knew it was earth and live, I just wanted to see if people recommended testing between live-neutral and neutral-earth. | |

yeh test between live-earth and live-neutral just to make sure you aint gettin 240v between the 2 ! just hope you dont get a back feed through the neutral if your working on it as they come pretty sharp:lol: oh im a qualified electrician by the way;) | |

its definately between live and earth, and live and neutral, just too be sure! Continuity:boggle: he wants to make sure he aint gonna get a shock by isolating a circuit so he has to test the point hes working at as one circuit may have more than one appliance connected! ;) of course i hope you are conforming to the bs7671 16th regs?:lol:;) | |

when you isolate a piece of equipment by means of a lock off at a distribution board. You should then test it for voltage to make sure it is dead. |
