Hi I'm new on here and a complete novice. Today I wired up my new cooker and as soon as I tried to turn on the oven the RCD tripped although the one for the cooker didn't. When the oven was switched on the light on the cooker switch on the wall went off but when the oven was switched off the light comes back on. The neutral also lights up my screwdriver tester when the oven is switched on . The oven has never actually started because the RCD IS TRIPPED STRAIGHT AWAY.
i'M COMPLETELY BAFFLED BECAUSE i HAVEN'T OBVIOUSLY GOT A CLUE ABOUT ELECTRICS AND i'D REALLTY APPRECIATE ANY INPUT BUT IN LAYMENS TERMS PLEASE.
tHE COOKER IS ON A 40 AMP FUSE 6MM GOING TO THE SWITCH AND 10MM COMING OUT TO THE COOKER. tHE ELECTRICIAN FITTED THE 10 MM AS MY ORIGINAL 6MM COMING OUT WASN'T LONG ENOUGH HE SAID THE CABLE DIFFERENCE SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. The cable from the board goes into the in and the cable to the cooker comes from the out in the appropriate connections ie live, neutral etc Can anyone help.......please. all the best Rob
