it was like history repeating itself as when they moved in 30yrs ago they had an electrician in and he blew the main fuse as the polarity was wrong on something that had been wired by someone. Then he thought that the 63A RCCB was the circuit breaker and so wired the outgoing 10mm into the bus bar terminal at the bottom. Oh and the main earth from the supply cable was never connected and neither do they have water or oil bonds The earths in the board are for supplementary bonding according to him, it's a giant loop thats joined to the hot and cold feeds to the bathroom then back to the board he's an old chap that tinkers with everything, the houses name no joke was neverdun, in light of their constant DIY hobby, the wife and he love it and they are always changing stuff around in the house hence nothing gets finished or done. They are converting one side of the house to rent lucky new tenant . I went to the wholesalers today that supplied it, which I use occationally told the manager he shrugged and said it wasn't illegal selling stuff to the public I rest my case ID cards needed Reply to Tell us about your faults! in the Australia area at ElectriciansForums.net
