Merry xmas to all,
i have a problem at an old ladys house,her lights keep tripping out so went to have a look today.The mcb's are old mem push button ones bs3871, but they are very intermittent to trip lights can be on for 20 mins,10,5 etc then they trip for no apparent reason, had all lights on,trip, tried individual sequences of turning off etc they stay on then trip out of the blue.Pulled the breaker and the red button stayed in then i got it out after pushing the white button in loads of times,then it stuck in again after i tripped it etc.
I think cos its so random that possibly the breaker is faulty does anyone have any experience of this type of fault and can you give us your thoughts.
Cheers,
John.
