Afternoon all,
I have a strange issue with my consumer unit that I would appreciate advice on.
My CU tripped yesterday morning on the socket ring circuit (the light circuit is working fine). I unplugged every socket but when i try to switch the socket ring back on at the consumer unit it won't go on (RCD trips immediately).
If I turn the RCD off, then the socket ring switch will stay on but then the RCD will not switch on.
Basically there is no time delay to tripping, non load on the circuit and no moisture at any of the outlets. Any ideas?
My electrician is on holiday for the weekend and if it is a big job such as raising floorboards etc then i would rather wait for him.
