I have a carpet cleaner, electrical operated and as soon it is switched on my
house consumer unit trips.
I was told to check the live and earth & neutral and earth by using an analogue
meter set to x10k ohms. That is the meter positive probe to live wire and the
negative probe to earth wire. Then the positive probe to the neutral wire and the
negative probe to the earth wire. I was also told not to get a low reading
during this check.
Why and for what reason I have to do this?
What low reading is unacceptable, in other words how much a high reading to be
acceptable?
I thank you in advance for any help to this problem
