New sockets fault keeps tripping

[philip Bredbere]

Hi I have put new socket in hall and ran cable straight to consumer unit,and connected to downstairs sockets . But it keeps tripping . I have used about 10 metres of cable .
Why would this be any help be grateful.

What were your dead test results before powering up the circuit?

BANG by the looks of it

Hi - Can you IR test the new work?

Might need an electrician.

Begining to look that way.

Is it just me, or is there less neutral cables than there is live?

Problem could be at the socket. Live cable squashed against fixing lug for example.

Dunno LS I'm geting confused

What certificate will you be providing to your customer for the work carried out?

They are conductors

Some observations:

1. The OP has been reviewing the thread recently and hasn't done the decent thing and updated us or responded to any of the points raised

2. This is clearly a business installation for a client....

3. A new circuit is subject to Part P of the building regs if in a domestic property

4. ANY electrical changes in clients properties should be designed, installed and tested to BS 7671 AMD 3, by a competent person with the appropriate test equipment....

5. Lets hope his PL insurance covers such work................

Also noticed from the picture op is going to 32A mcb but stated he ran a cable to the board from the socket. No mention of a ring so im assuming its a spur.
Assuming say Clipped Direct max amps for 2.5 T&E in the BYB would be 27A not taking in to account thermal insulation & ambient temp etc. adjustments if required.

Some people try to argue that spurring from the mcb is not a new circuit as it uses one mcb & would not be notifyable
like say putting smoke detect circuit on with lighting?

others argue any new cable installed in to the CU is notifyable

 

[westward10]

He certainly knows how to connect a cpc that is for sure.

I think he has gone

It's not a new circuit, you can spur from any point on a RFCthe MCB included.
