Been asked to look at local pub kitchen as a circuit was tripping.
The circuit appears to be a repurposed cooker circuit, fed in 6mm t&e to two MK double sockets. Second socket is fed in 2.5 from the first.

I've replaced an old 28W CFL fitting with a new 4 x LED GU10 fitting (a cheap one from Screwfix). Although the light turned on after flicking on the MCB, when you turn it on or off the MCB trips, and sometimes the RCD, too.
