Hi,
I recently had a leak from an upstairs shower which caused the spotlights in the kitchen below to trip the circuit breaker.
The leak has now been fixed and its been at least 4 weeks of drying out but its still tripping the fuse. However it doesn't always trip the fuse straight away. Sometimes the lights will be on for 5-10 minutes before it trips, other times it trips straight away. Doesn't appear to be any sort of pattern to it.
I've pulled down all the spotlights and the transformers (each light has its own transformer) to visually inspect them for any damage but there appears to be none. Today I removed the transformers one by one however even with them all removed it still tripped the power. They are all connected in a daisy chain fashion with one getting the live feed then a junction box sends that to the transformer and on to the next spotlight until it reaches the end one, 4 in total.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing the problem?
