I’m 75 and am not an electrician although I’m pretty handy and attended a CnG Domestic Wiring course 30 years ago. If friends or relatives have electrical problems I have always been able to source the problems and rectify them.
HOWEVER, I AM OUT OF MY DEPTH with this problem.
Garage about 5m from bungalow, power directly fed by 4mm, 3 core SWA from a 32A trip. Mini DB in garage serves lights (6A) and a few sockets (32A).
The 32A feed in the bungalow is continually tripping and also trips the main RCD.
I disconnected the garage DB completely so no connections at all in there, but the 32A feed trip in the main DB still blows.
The installation in the main DB looks sound and there shouldn’t be any rodent problem as it has SWA.
It appears to be worse in colder weather.
Any ideas please ?
