But Bage have you seen the fellas join date here FFS, geordie is right and even though the OP has removed all his posts he has been caught out via quotes lol, the whole thread is very disturbing, god help the customer thats all I can say.

That's a very kind thing of you to say about me Mark.

I'm not always right though, but I am always a Geordie.

I've just arrived at this thread and we seem to have a 'mute' poster who communicates via morse code and everyone else appears to be able to translate his quotes, very clever indeed!
Can anyone translate this then ......?

Likewise, what was being said? Did I miss something?

Just another chancer fishing for answers to a problem he created by not knowing what he was doing and not having the appropriate kit for the job at hand

You’re a Mancunian, I don’t believe a word you say.

no he aint...

he`s from Leeds....

he likes to pretend he`s from over there...



christ knows why...

 

[Badged01]

Not the best we’ve had.
A few years back the same topic reached in to the 100’s of posts.

Beaten to it ...

...... i have just installed a wylex split load uint

So you've just done a complete CU change......

however when you turn on the lights they trip the rcd to the left of the mcb and i cannot understand why as they are on the none rcd side or have i done something wrong.

.......without doing any circuit tests beforehand and you're now sitting with an RCD tripping fault.......

any advice welcomed
cheers

jon

.....and you've come to the forum to get advice on what might be causing it.....

.....I have been tracing the wiring and think I have narrowed it down to a fault or incorrectly wired dimmer switch. Which is what I am now looking at. I was wiring the light it the rcd side but after reading wylex PDF it states to the right. On the none rcd side which is the confusing aspect.

...because you've attempted to find the problem without too much success....

Sorry no no test equipment

.....because you don't own or have access to any test equipment......

yes I am qualified but have not done anything for about 5 years and am out of practice

even though you're a qualified sparky who's out of practice.

I've written between the lines what I'm reading between the lines.

Replacing a CU without having any test equipment is not acceptable. You don't even have a means of proving the circuits you're working on are dead and you have no way of proving they're safe now you've worked on them. You also have no way of finding the crossed/borrowed neutral(s) that are causing your tripping fault. I don't believe you're a qualified guy because there's no way you'd be doing this without test equipment and putting lives at risk if you were.

Stop what you're doing before you cause somebody injury or you kill them. Get a professional in to find the problem(s), test the circuits and check your work. Not being able to afford it isn't an excuse that's going to sound good in front of a judge if this ends up going further South than it already is.

You've shown beyond doubt that what you're doing is not safe and the way you're doing it is not safe and I fear you're not going to heed advice and stop so...thread closed, and account closed.
