I have a light circuit which is about 30-40m long with two lights near the end of the run.
As soon as I turn the light on via the Gewiss weatherproof switch, the RCD trips.
I thought it was one of the outside lights at fault but it seems its not. I disconnected the circuit at the first light leaving just a circuit with nothing at the end of the run but still the RCD trips.
I've spent the last hour or two inspecting the cable from switch to end of run and it seems fine.
I've fixed many problems but this one has me stumped.
I'd get my sparky friend but he's on the other side of the globe for the next two months.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm tempted to rip the whole cable out and wire it again in conduit.
