Consumer unit upgrade in a rental apartment in Romiley this morning. A big part of the upgrade is always the testing. An upgrade canโt be carried out effectively without a thorough test. One of those tests is the end to end dead test of the ring main (sockets). We are making sure that the Live, Neutral and Earth conductors are forming a complete ring and we are also making sure that the readings on the Live and Neutral are more or less the same, proving decent connection around the circuit. The readings at this property are spot on. 0.24 Ohms on both Live and Neutral. Onto the Insulation Resistance testing next and then weโll get the new consumer unit in place ready to go! ๐
