My bathroom lights keep tripping the rcd when I switch them on, not just the one circuit, but half the board!
There are 5 led gu10 bulbs on the circuit, plus an extractor fan wired into the switched live and main live (for the timer). The extractor is not yet firmly screwed into the wall.
Here's what I have done so far:
Removed all the led bulbs.
Removed the extractor.
Replaced the extractor (the components seemed to be getting warm, but I think that's normal).
Cut back some length off the hard cable (thinking it was possible kinks in the wire shorting) to the extractor and plugged it in via a Click Flow connector. P clipped everything to the wall nice and stable.
I thought this last change had fixed everything, turned the lights on and off several times no problem.
A few hours later, I turned on the lights and it tripped again.
Next step will be to pull down the ceiling and inspect the feed from the jb (which I think is quite busy) to the extractor.
Unless anyone here can talk me out of it?
