I've recently extended my socket ring by two double sockets. All seemed OK for a few days, but now, every couple of hours the MCB trips and the socket ring go's down.
I am right in thinking this is an overload issue as opposed to a short circuit, as if it was a short circuit the MCB wouldn't let me reset?
If so, can I increase the fuse/MCB for the socket ring main, or do I just need to watch how many appliances I have on at any one time?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, Andrew
