hi there there split rcd board with rcd keeps tripping maybe once twice sometimes 3 times a day turned the washing machine on tripped straight away got rid got another’s one now it’s tripping jus now and then
 
hey guys took the oven/grill main isolator off just to check behind it out of curiosity (because every time cool down fan kicked in not all the time but would trip) really really slack nutural and live connection on the load side could this have bn the cause of the tripping ?
 
My heart always sinks when I get a call which starts by saying ‘my electrics keep turning off / tripping out when I turn XYZ on’

It could be a 15 minute job or a 3 hour job , you just never know how much time to allow in the diary....

I have a job tomorrow where someone has no hot water in their all electric flat. Could be the fuse , could be the stat , could be the element burned out.
Have allowed a 2 hour call but could end up half a day...

Yesterday I had a ‘my lights dim when I turn anything on’ ?‍♂️

My guess is an earth to N fault in the damaged light fitting. This will become a problem when other devices draw large currents.
