Thank you. You saved the food in the freezer just now :)

That is just crazy.....The whole circuit is off and yet it matters for the RCCB.

You are a genius my friend. I just went upstair. One of the cable runs for the extra sockets being fitted had the live and neutral cables touching. I opened it up and can now turn on the vacuum cleaner.

The upstairs sockets breaker is fitted after the RCCB on the consumer unit. It is right next to the ground floor sockets breaker.

Would it matter that the first floor socket circuit is currently open and not functional? It is turned off at the breaker. and has been off for three days. The RCCB was working fine till about an hour ago and We had lots of power tools running today and yesterday off the Ground floor sockets.

I had a look. the gas ignition is actually connected to the cooker circuit.

We have electrical work going on in the first floor of the house. The first floor circuit is currently off however and has not been on for like three days. There is a refurbishment going on in the house. Nothing has been done on the ground floor of the house and those two are on separate...

Hi, Hope someone could help out. I had a lot of electrical devices plugged in the same extension lead. I turned a vacuum cleaner on and it caused the RCCB to trip. I tried turning it back on but it would trip immediately. I had to disconnect all electrical devices in the house to be able to...

Guys thank you for the replies. Yes I was thinking about the noise but not only. It is in a 3 bed semi-detached house but it is draughty. It is a 1930's house which has air bricks and a fireplace in each room. I think that putting insulation might make it a bit warmer. And you are correct I am...

Hi all, My ceiling (ground floor) was made of lath and wet plaster. It has recently fallen and I would like to use this opportunity to fill the gaps between the joists with insulation and cover it all with plasterboard. There are quite a lot of cables in there already some old some new. I am...
