[@Dailymailnewz]

When you pass 500 volt DC through it because they are somehow connected, they are making the light live, as you said. The neutral and CPC are connected. I have worked in so many buildings that it is the third building where I found all live connected together, all Blue or neutrals and emergency lines connected together. In this case, an amazing amigo has even added CPC to it because he thought it was unfair to leave cpc lonely, ha ha ha.

[@awesomechapro]

The reason the lights blink when you use the insulation tester, is that the input capacitors inside the led driver are charging up until the circuit kicks into action and lights the leds. This then discharges the capacitors and the cycle repeats.

[@sirajshah5003]

Or because the neutral and cpc were reversed, as the supply cpc was connected to the lights neutral in the connection unit

[@pjeaton58]

The insulation tester is like a megger tester giving 500volts which can destroy an LED lamp - they should disconnect them first as with any delicate electronics - or buy the customer a replacement if it is F***ed up !

I fixed a similar fault for a member of my family. Wall lights that would trip the whole house circuit breaker. A professional electrician had condemned the whole house (re-wired within the last twenty years) and said it all needed doing again at a quote of £5K. They couldn’t;t be bothered to fault find it, but I did and found the classic fault of the neutral return from the lighting circuit wired back into the side of the consumer unit that wasn’t on the same side as the ELCB that was being used for the live supply. The imbalance in the lighting supply fired the trip. A £5K bill avoided. I would always question an electricians diagnosis, but only because I’m an electronics engineer and 230V domestic installation is very simple in comparison.

Fault finding: I am now retired, but only a short while ago, I got a phone call from an Electrician friend who used to get me to do his often-time-consuming fault finding. A group of Five caravans were tripping the main box, having got it down to one particular Caravan, the newly ish qualified site Electrician was struggling to find the ever-changing insulation fault. the power would be on, lights would work, but as soon as a Kettle or Toaster was powered, the site box would trip off. I got there and soon instructed them to change the faulty RCD in the hook up for a start which should have detected the leak, and activated. But the ever-changing resistance fault remained, lights would work, but as soon as any bigger load was switched on, off the RCD would go, now only on the hook up box with the new RCD. A little old-fashioned test was to identify in reverse where this insulation problem was, rather than from the consumer unit, I tested from a convenient Kettle base to a socket. Sure enough, ever changing resistance faults across all Three conductors. Isolate the Smoke alarm feed. Caravan worked normally again. I must add that I got him to switch all the MCBs off and put them on one at a time, as soon as the Lights were engaged, (Main power off of course)! the fault appeared on the Live as well as the neutral (trust me here). The fault remained on the neutral to CPC all the time. But came up on the Live too as soon as the circuit was engaged (Warp Nine!). Looked up at the ceiling to see Two odd smoke alarms, One mains and One Battery, pulled off the Battery alarm and there was a hole in the ceiling, shone a torch up to see Three bare wire ends hiding in the damp roof insulation. A maintenance person had replaced a faulty mains alarm with a Battery version, and just shoved the wires up into the roof void. Fizzling about in the damp space just waiting to arc and trip. Had he have isolated the Smoke alarm feed; he may have found it on his own (eventually!). I advised him to make a written report to H&S demanding no Maintenace workers were to do any Electrical work, at least untill they tracked down the culprit.! Never seen it before, and don't expect to come across it again.

[@EsotericArctos]

A lot of testing was done to make sure the cabling had no other faults and that everything was safe. Because 2 other tradies had checked it and not been able to fix it, it did seem too simple just being a swapped CPC and Neutral. The testing Jordan did in this video was maybe a bit overkill, but at the same time was warranted given the history. Also, I am sure Jordan did do extra given he was allowed to film, but then maybe not. He is always very thorough on his jobs ,especailly ones where the fault has not appeared simple, even though this one turned out to be simple. I am sure the customer was not complaining to ensure it was totally safe. I likely would have done all the additional testing to ensure it was safe for the customer given the fault history

That kitchen job looked like butchery. Putting joins in tight, hard to access places is just causing trouble for the next person who needs to work on it. Hidden hard to find junction boxes are in my opinion, an abomination. If my father had seen something like that, he would have considered rewiring the whole light circuit on the reasoning that the idiot who originally did it could not be trusted not to have done something worse. I saw him tell an owner of a house about something comparable to this once that he found, and they had him check the wiring of the whole house. Luckily the customer already planned to have the house rewired as the cables were in poor condition due to age of the house.

When ripping out a kitchen a few years ago we turned everything off except the cooker socket for power when working and stated to pull apart the kitchen then we came across some bell wire fitted to the underside of the kitchen units with drawing pins through the center of the wire thinking it was obsolete pulling the units away it went bang sparking eventually it blew the wire cooker fuse . After some digging in the plaster we followed the bell wire to just above the cooker point to find the bell wire had been wrapped and twisted around the cooker cable the insulation had been stripping off and no tape just plastered into the wall . The owner said the he had the lights under the cupboard taken off a few year before and they had left the bell wire in just tucked behind the units . I think it was the owner who had been tinkering and fitted the 240v 45amp cable to bell wire .

4:06 Is this normal in the UK to leave those rail exposed like that? Here we have to cut them to size, so whenever you add another unti you have to replace the rail since it's now to short.

As an electrical troubleshooter with 65 years experience, in a situation like this, I would do as you did for about 5 -10 minutes. At that point, if have not found TWO clues clearly pointing to ONE Fault, I would then unwire EVERYTHING involved. I carry a 100 foot spool of wire with alligator clips on both ends so that I can unroll as necessary to form a long extension for one side of my ohm meter / continuity tester. I then map the entire pile and then draw the required schematic, color code with tape as necessary and then rewire the entire circuit. Thus when I leave, there is NO CHANCE of someone else following me around finding dumb stunts as you did. On average, this is faster than pawing through a big mess caused who knows how many people previously. My most common fault occurs when a DIY guy tries to change a three way light switch. Here in the states, the three way switches have two connections on one side and one on the other. About 40 years ago, the convention as to where the common was located became different. That led to the circuits being rewired so that it looked the same but they would not work. I have had at least 200 of these jobs in old buildings where the wire colors were not clear. That is why I am quick to unwire and ring everything out with the spool of wire and my ohm meter. FYI...Depending on the instrument, using an insulation tester that can supply 1000 to 15000 volts must not be used anywhere that low voltage devices can be present. They are for motor winding, etc. or in a residential situation prior to connecting loads that could be damaged. Note: motors are tested at twice the rated voltage since modern VFDs provide up to twice the rated motor voltage in normal operation.

I would more likely think it's not the electrician could not fix. I have found a lot of customers don't explain things properly. Years ago, we had a customer keep coming back complaining.
