Hi all .new to the community here and hoping for some thoughts
Situation is that had a plasterer to do a wall in the kitchen .
He tried to plaster around the socket (which is a switch to a fan ) the switch is a spur of kitchen ring which is under a RCD.
When he moved the switch (which was live still .( Don't ask!) Shorted the circuit and tripped RCD. Could have been moisture or touching wire not sure
Everything was working before and is modern cable
No other cabling was anywhere near the plaster area
Anyway
Each time I turn MCB on RCD trips
I have . Isolated all sockets in the "damp" area . No joy
Checked continuity at the CU.
All still as it was previously.
Isolated the whole of the kitchen sockets (even though continuity was ok)
Still trips . No load anywhere
Question . Could the plasterer have caused the MCB to fail?
Have bought new MCB but just want to ask around as I don't believe too often in coincidence
Thanks
Nick
