Adding a cpc Ask questions and find answers to many subjects relating to electrics and electrical work

Hello,
If a lighting circuit has been installed without a cpc in the CU.
But everywhere else in every switch and light there is a cpc.
Would it be alright to add a 2.5mm cpc in the CU and runnit to any switch or light?
Because I tried it with a wonder lead and I am getting a Zs on the lights.
Thanks in advance.

LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM OF DOC S PROJECTS AND STUDY
THE 3 CEILING ROSES AS IF THEY R YOUR LIGHTING CIRCUIT.
IF AS IN THE DIAGRAM YOUR LAST LIGHTING POINT IS NUMBER
3 FOR EXAMPLE , THEN YOU TRACE BACK FROM LAST LIGHT
BELLING THE EARTH AT EACH LIGHT UNTILL YOU LOCATE NO EARTH RETURN TO THE CU. AT THIS POINT U RUN 2.5 EARTH BACK TO
CU. OBVIOUSLY IN A IDEAL SET UP U SHOULD REWIRE WITH NEW 1.5 MM2 LIGHTING CABLE TWIN BROWN AND BLUE + EARTH. BUT I AM
SURE U R AWARE OF THAT.
