rcbo tripping intermittantly

[jmc1683]

new installation, RCBO on one socket ring tripping intermittantly, can last 20mins to 1 hour. not worried, I will find the problem just wondering where the rest of you would start

what do you mean one outlet? I wired it myself, I know exactly what points are on the ring, I know the exact route. there's about 6 double sockets, just worked out given the layout, and its a small gym (private house)

well go round n test em then....
loose joint

People are getting confused because of the 'one socket' ring when I think you mean one ring final circuit.
Also you'd think you would know exactly how many sockets there are but you say 'about' 6!

ok, if details help, there are 5 doubles mounted low and one single mounted high for the tv.

take it you have done your end to end readings and ir tested if that all ok then test rcbo if that all ok take off sockets one by one as only 6 not worth messing around

Could be a drilled cable when fixing the tv? Also check that you haven't trapped any cables with your 3.5 screws.
