Hi. I have an aluminum installation at home. I use a lamp with a motion sensor outside and it has worked flawlessly so far. After insulating the house and putting it back on, it doesn't work. Before its assembly, only the phase cable runs current (it does not flow in other wires), while...

How should I know? All I know is that one vein is not continuous. And there are many reasons for this state.

Now break this new polystyrene and look for the cause of the fault under it, maybe it's a drilled wire or broken (aluminum) during the installation of insulation.

It operated as all veins were continuous. Today it does not work because the null vein has been broken.

Thanks for the answer. Do you think that the cable is punctured if the current flows only in phase before connecting the lamp?

There should be no current in the protective conductor. Look for the cause here!

The current is running or there is voltage on it

The Amothian test tube lights up when I check. I don't know electricity.

So invite someone who knows about her before you do more harm than good, not to mention your health and that of others.

As above, money for everything is in addition to replacing the installation and now the problem

I'll look under the polystyrene. It probably is actually drilled.

And in addition, it is compact, since there is a phase on all of them - I wonder why no protection worked? Call the ELECTRICIAN if you are not going to blow everything up.

Rather, only a break in the PEN voltage appears after connecting the lamp - it probably closes through the filters.

Hi.

I have an aluminum installation at home. I use a lamp with a motion sensor outside and it has worked flawlessly so far. After insulating the house and putting it back on, it doesn't work. Before its assembly, only the phase cable runs current (it does not flow in other wires), while after connecting the lamp, the current also runs in the neutral and protective cable, and the lamp still does not work.

Do you think any of the cables has been damaged?

I'll look under the polystyrene. It probably is actually drilled.

The phase is precisely because the zero vein has been broken. And since the protection did not work, there is no short circuit.

A rather broken neutral wire and the phase wire may not have been broken.

EDIT: colleagues were faster

Approx. I will look for the pierced vein and write what was. Thanks for the answers.

There was a pierced vein. Thank you for your help.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around troubleshooting a motion sensor lamp connected to an aluminum installation that has stopped functioning after insulation work. The user notes that only the phase cable carries current before connecting the lamp, while the neutral and protective cables also show current after connection, indicating potential cable damage. Responses suggest that the neutral wire may be broken, possibly due to drilling during insulation installation. Several participants emphasize the importance of consulting a qualified electrician to avoid further issues and ensure safety. The user confirms later that a pierced wire was indeed the problem.
