Just had a Sunday lunchtime call out to a new customer. Bought their property back in May as a holiday home, and have only just switched the heating on. Everything is fine, but come midnight when the economy 7 kicks in, everything goes dead when the RCD trips. I get round and do a quick visual and IR test on the econ 7 board and everything tests as it should. Moving back up-stream I get into the supply cupboard still scratching my head. Tracing the tails, we have L and N entering the meter with L and N departing for the RCD switch. L for the econ 7 leaves the meter via a henly (used as a joint only) off to the CU for the heaters. The supply N however is split at a henly after the RCD switch before going to the main CU and the econ 7 CU. This I explaind is where the inbalance was due to the fact the econ 7 was not being seen by the RCD, however the return N was causing the instintaneous tripping when current flowed.
The DNO have been out and changed the switch telling the customer it was faulty and I have told them to call them back out to sort it.
Im just seeking confirmation I got it right??
