Tripping 6amp breaker

[eco-tech]

Huge problems now


Changed all the fittings etc and this breaker stayed on for a full day but now it's tripped again

wtf is going on ?

 

[eco-tech]

Now im told its when the kitchen light is switched on.

If I isolate the feed to the kitchen light and the kitchen light circuit is faulty will it still trip ?

 

[cook1e]

no, if you completely isolate it it wont trip, if it is that, what type of fitting/s is/are they ?

 

[eco-tech]

Found a problem with a socket circuit.

Do you think this could cause the 6amp breaker on the lighting circuit to trip if the N is connected on the N bar with the rest of the circuits

 

[eco-tech]

I put pendants on with low energy bulbs

 

[eco-tech]

It was no N ring on the sockets !

Saying all this tho I did replace the old breaker and it seems to have tripped again.

But when I put a new breaker in it still tripped but this was befor I replace the lighting fittings etc

Could be a new breaker and fittings !

Not so sure tho as the circuits all test out fine

 

[eco-tech]

Just cant get my head around this as it tests out fine and is not overloaded in any way AGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Have you got a mate you could take to site for a 2nd opinion?

 

[eco-tech]

Yeh I had a lad test it he says the same cant understand it

Only things I can think of is

1) Breaker
2) Fault on feed to a 2 way to kitchen light


But then Im told it happens even when they in bed


AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

House is very damp tho ,,, could this be the problem ?

 

[Octopus]

Damp could certainly be responsible!

 

[eco-tech]

How the hell do I solve this one then if it is damp ?

Re-wire

 

[eco-tech]

Just cant work y it tests out ok tho

 

[Octopus]

How the hell do I solve this one then if it is damp ?

Re-wire

Tell them to turn up the heating and open a few windows.

 

[eco-tech]

That wont help me lol


this problem only trips when the kitchen is switched on

for example:1 she woke up switched hall lighting on then switched kitchen light on then after a few mins it tripped.

for example:2 she walks into kitchen turns light on and it trips after a few mins.

for example:3 light works for a good few hours then trips breaker.

Lost me this as it tests out ok
