Hi All,
I am a little bit confused, I have just bought a house and the boiler and whirlpool bath are connected together to a 16amp breaker, I know the boiler should have its own supply but this is what I got.
Anyway if the boiler or whirpool is turned on, it trips the RCD. Ive disconnected the boiler and turned the whirpool on and vice versa but still the RCD trips. Ive checked the resistance on the appliances and both are good but they are old and my metre might not be great.
Ive put the supply to a 32 amp breaker just to see if the RCD trips however it doesn't and both work. Im confused about the fact that if there was an earth leakage fault I assumed it would still trip the RCD even on a 32 Amp breaker.
Am I missing anything as I'm not sure what to do next. Please Help.
Regards.
