Hi all. I hope you're all well.
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I've been asked to look at some storage heaters that are tripping. Council have recently upgraded consumer units. It's now a main RCD switch protecting 3 circuits. The RCD trips at random times. Not when the storage heaters come on but before. I have insulation resistance tested all 3 circuits and all clear. Lowest reading was 800 off M ohms.
The one thing I did notice though was there was 5 volts on neutral and earth. So I assume this is causing an imbalance... The tenant wasn't in so couldn't get to the incomer. Does anyone know what would cause this? I the off peak usually has it's own neutral but so could it be that it's sharing the neutral with the 24/7 supply?
Any help would be great. Thanks
