  • In this LearnElectrics video we look at ways of finding breaks or damaged wiring in a ring circuit. The methods you might employ if a periodic inspection of a premises has identified problems with the circuit. If you’re new to the trade or perhaps if testing is now part of your job description, this video will help.
    We’ve had lots of questions posted …
    How do I test for broken wires in a ring circuit?
    Or … During an Inspection and Test there is no continuity on some of the end to end tests.
    How do I find the problem?
    What readings should I get at the sockets and how can the resistance readings help me to find the problem?
    And lots more, including how to test without a wander lead
    This is video number 204 and to view all our videos type in LearnElectrics all one word into the UA-cam search bar.

    Great video Dave, I like to use the method you described here. The only additional thing I do is put a piece of insulation tape on top of the socket with the measured resistance value written on it. I also then go back to the board and link the other end, then use a different colour tape and start writing resistance values on socket fronts. Then if the ring isn’t logically wired, at least you can start removing the two sockets with the “highest resistances” first. I find it very effective especially if you’ve no idea how the ring has been previously wired.

    Great video thanks - I use the same method. I use the continuity buzzer but same result - been a spark since 1980 but I could listen to you all day cheers Dave keep em coming 👍

    When the route of the ring isn't quite straigtforward, Dave's video TRACING SOCKET CIRCUITS and other ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS is very useful
