Due to owning the house and renting out it needs to be electrical checked every 3 years and gas safety to be done each year maybe differet in other areas but here has to be complied with.
I know a few other landlords who have had to have consumer unit changed to a metal casing due to the new...
Lmfao meant to say re-terminated that' Samsung auto correct for you and the fuse box is also being changed soon in the house as it's a plastic one.
Due to current regs with the 3 yearly check I am aware that being under the stairs that they now have to be metal and non combustible with current...
Well it's fixed I redone earths as Well as I think 1 had come out and exterminated all the neutrals I was going to tidy box up but left as it was as it was signed off like it before.
Things are all connected correctly it's not like ive added it to a non protected rcd circuit so a loose...
The fault seemed to be the live off one of ring mains had broken so instead of having the full circuit it was only fed one way the minute I exterminated that it stopped the tripping.
Also the breaker is slightly different size but exactly the same as the others on the buzz bar I tested the...
Problem is now fixed the live off 32amp mcb was obviously causing the circuit to trip as resistance check wasn' connecting thanks to everyone who has helped and I tested n-e with multi meter with no shorts anywhere so rechrckef lives to find one had snapped
Update have tested all n-e using multi meter no shorts found one of the 32amp ring circuits had come away from the mcb not physically visible but have now reconnected.
Seeing that was on rcd side hoping it was that just waiting for the 40amp mcb to come back as friend took it away yesterday...
Not saying the piece of paper isn't important but it wouldn't come to use as I don't wanna be a sparky and would be a waste of time and money so cannot justify costs to needing it.
As I say I got asked to do a favour to change a shower then as it wasnt that got asked if I could have a look at...
Yeh I understand this however with the switch disconnected and a choc block with just a flex with light fitting there should be no extra load on circuit ie should work fine on the 16amp mcb and not trip.
I would understand if the shower was on and tripped but with a light bulb on didn't as would...
No longer speak to me dad had a falling out a couple of years ago after a family member had a stroke and all he wanted o know is how much money he was getting left if they passed away I've messaged a few sparkys I know but thought I would try the forum as process of elimination before messaging...
You know what don't care I can't here to ask a question just because I'm not qualified doesn't make me incompetent of knowing what I'm doing working with someone who's qualified from a young age and being overseen and checked on standards of work and also working on 3 phase and also being more...
The switch has also been replaced and basic fault finding steps have been looked at all earths neutrals and lives checked on box and nothing has been added or changed so just cannot understand how such a fault just appears the house was only rewired 2 years ago.
The idea of this post is to find out if the rcd could be the possible fault or if it could be a fault somewhere else but surely with one wire direct feed when switched off the rcd doesn't trip meaning there shouldn't be a fault on the other circuits as it' been fine for over a week.
