Hi ya all
Bit of an unusual one - I have a board that has been tripping on the socket circuit and the two light circuits and the shower circuit for some time. The house is a student let and is now empty for the summer so it is time to get to the bottom of what is happening.
All the IR's are greater than 100MOhms.
The shower circuit was switched off at the isolator and still the RCBO was in the off position when I arrived today. The whole run of the cable is largely visible as it runs across the roof space and is not damaged. So today I remove the outgoing wires from the RCB for the shower and put a pendant light with a few inches of cable as a load instead.
The customer has told me that it has tripped when he poppped in to look.
So I am wondering anyone has had experience of an external factor such as surges causing RCBO's to nuisance trip?
I have replaced the rcbo 's and used the ones I took out on other jobs with no problems at all so I don't believe there is a fault with them
Any Idea?
