help, i have recently connected a 13amp switched fcu (using 5 amp fuse) from the ring main double socket to feed to bedroom wall lights that have separate switches.
i believe i have wired eveything correctly, 2.5mm wire from socket to fcu and 1.5mm from fcu to switch then on to wall light. there are 2 wall lights and both run separatley into fcu, via there own separate switches.
when i switch on the power at the cu and turn on the fcu the power trips off ?
i have tried different fuse size and the same happens.
the switches for each light are 2 way, but are wired as if one way, could this be the problem ?
any help appreciated.
