The RCD trips intermittently. Takes the freezer with it!
The three switches are supplied with one supply off the plug mains circuit. and three different light circuits to the outside lights.
I know in wet weather one of the outside lights shorts and trips.
The neutral wire was removed from two switches. One light still works well. The live wires and earth were still all left connected to the switch & the earth wires were wound together.
My thought is actually if it still rains , the faulty outside light gets wet & will trip the RCD , even though the neutral is not connected. As the earth and live are still connected & the RCD will do its job. One neutral is still connected. Am I right ?
For the moment I have disconnected all the wires from the switches and taped them all individually.
Thoughts appreciated.
