No this is not for a customer as I do not do if a living I am just trying to save a friend a few quid as they are having problems and cannot afford to get a sparky in

would some be kind enough just to tell me why is trips on the none rcd side but not on the rcd side.

I think ink it is to do with the dimmer which I will be testing and changing later as this is tripping the circuit when operated

Looks like its going to cost more in the long run!!!

Anybody got a blue wire I can BORROW?

 

[hunggaur]

Try another light and see if it trips

hi hi thanks for that I have already tried all the lights and everything is fine with the rest of the house and all the other switches work fine.

I am not trying to be a pain to anyone but I am just having difficulty getting my head around why I do not have the same issue on both sides of the rcd and if there is a fault on the circuit why is it tripping on both the rcd and none rcd side
