My son had his consumer unit changed due to having additional points fitted in his kitchen. This new unit included a RCD.
The year previously, I fitted some wall lights (3, with total load of 360W) controlled by a dimmer switch, in the dining-room for him and these worked well, until this new consumer unit was fitted. Now, when the lights are dimmed, the RCD trips!
I have to say that, for convenience, I took a neutral from the near-by ring main and the supply from a nearby lighting circuit.
Can anyone suggest what might be the trouble? I think it has to do with the new consumer unit as things were working o.k. before.
Thanks in anticipation.
