    Rcd advice needed faulty or fault

    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.

    Rcd advice needed faulty or fault

    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...

    Rcd advice needed faulty or fault

    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...

    Rcd advice needed faulty or fault

    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...

    Rcd advice needed faulty or fault

    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.

    Rcd advice needed faulty or fault

    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.
