Finding an Issue in a venue I work in,
the situation is as follows:
Patch bay of 6 circuits with 15A round pin plugs, Going through 18 core cable to a Junction Box on an IWB an distributed to 6x 15A sockets on that IWB.
6 cores used for the lives
6 cores used for the Nuturals
1 core used for the earth
3 cores used for a 13A socket used as 'hard power'
2 cores unused
Problem is,
When I use circuit 1 I get a shock from the plug of another circuit, Measured the voltage and read ~50v between nutural and Earth on each of the other 5 circuits.
The Power is coming from a Paradime Qpack dimmer. The voltage is present on the 5 other circuits no matter which of the Circuits are plugged into the dimmer, and whether the dimmer is at full or at 0.
Any suggestions on why i would be getting this voltage on all the other circuits?
