Neutral problem

johnmah · 2013-04-08 19:21:56

Hi guys, Problem with lights in my bathroom. All of a sudden they stopped working. I have traced it back to a neutral problem and when measuring the supply cable I get 230v between live and earth but I also get 60v between live and neutral and 60v between neutral and earth. Any ideas please.

how many cables are there at the light
seems like you are missing a loop neutral and loop earth

are the bedroom/landing lights working

is the light wired in t+e

pics may help
