Is there a list of errors etc on line where?

i think the diagram on page 196 is wrong,
the test leads should go to live and earth..

but im only learning,
am i right or wrong?

surely in such a big bood there must be updates, and they should be online
somewhere, nobodys perfect...

How about a scan of the page concerned, so we can see what you're
talking about?

That's perfectly correct. You're not understanding what is being done
here. And the text clearly states "measure resistance between phase and
CPC conductors" (that's 'live' and 'earth' in popular terms) which is
what the diagram shows.

You need to work through that section from the beginning to see what is
being done. It's merely a way of testing the continuity and resistance,
and checking that the ring is correctly wired.

But the picture shows the test meter probes at the L and N of the socket
outlet, not at the L and E.

Oops!

Oops!

Actually, to be completely picky and pedantic, the picture shows the
test meter probes in 'thin' air, with the apparent resistance between
the probes of 0.4 ohms. Neither of the probes are actually physically
shown as being in the socket apertures.

Now with many modern sockets, the live and neutral apertures will be
shuttered, so getting test meter probes in required defeating the
shuttering. Is there an H&S approved method for doing this?

Yes, scrap the H&E exectutive, Darwinism has never killed anyone who
didn't deserve to die! :~)
