I have rewired a room with a ring main, all the plugs have been put on, there are 7 plugs in the room, I have put my tester plug in all the sockets and the 2 green lights come on saying everything is ok, but when I plug an appliance in and switch it on, it trips. Anyone any idea why?
 
What is tripping? The circuit breaker or RCD?
Any chance of you posting a pic of your CU.
 
guess N in wrong N bar. where in Wales?

Could be.. Then again they may not have disconnected at the CU and then its a fault at one of the sockets.
We will see if they comes back with some answers...
