Tracing ring main in kitchen
Hi
My kitchen ring main has a broken earth somewhere. There is a suspect region where a spur feeds off the main ring to feed a single socket above the skirting board. We think there must be a junction box hidden in the floor (concrete), behind the skirting or buried in the wall that makes this connection and maybe the fault is there. I need to trace the spur wiring. I have tried using my Draper cable/metal detector but it is not up to the job. I've seen a recommendation from Andy Hall for the Zircon stud detector, but I think that is more aimed at detecting voids. Would a Cable Avoidance Tool be my best bet? I may have to take the skirting off. What is the cleanest way of doing this? Thanks David |
