Hi was after some info.
I have a log cabin that has a 32 amp ring main installed on a RCD with two outdoor floodlights, (Other lighting circuits are on RCBO). As a regular check on pushing test button on RCD this works fine but i also have a fluke circuit tester which i test sockets regulary. The other day they Socket tester which is also a rcd tester is failing to trip the RCD when i test?
As a matter of course i changed the ring main over to a RCBO and tested again and the RCBO triped when tested is this a definate fault with the RCD or is there a possible fault devolped with the outside lights?
As i had a electrican look at this and he said all the MCB's,RCBO will need changing to make sure they all work surely by doing what i done will in dicate the RCD as the Culprit.
ANy advice on this would be helpful as not sure if i am being done over here considering that he is trying to charge me £800 to complete.
