Yes Davy sleeving all the way doubled terminations where applicable and all in the right terminals. Thats what I am trying to say, how by rectifying a poor earth termination has the problem been fixed ? The old man was with me last night he has fluke test equipment and has been in the game...

Thats just it though, I separated the ring to form 2 radials worked out which of the radials was causing the RCD trip then began working my way through it . There were no bad terminations or crimped conductors other that the one poor earth. When rectified it has cleared the RCD tripping...

Bernard, I wasn't necessarily directing this at you. The tests today will reveal how competent an installation it is. Can you explain how then that after identifying the fault as being in the kitchen ring and then breaking the circuit down piece meal and finding the socket with a poor...

2360 parts 1 and 2 as opposed to picking up a DIY mag and after reading it thinking oh what the hell lets have a go it can't be that difficult

Right to end this saga, I have found that the fault was in a 1 gang socket, where I had crimped the earth sheath producing a break in the earth continuity, not a NE FAULT as so many had predicted. The full test and inspection will be carried out today. The idea of coming on here was to...

SECURESPARK I am not part P certified hence I have someone I use to certify my work. I realise from your comments that the fault exists as a NE fault, because switching the MCBS off only cuts the phase.

Bernard Thats the thing it trips only when the earth from the supply head is connected into the main earth terminal, otherwise the board functions ok, I appreciate everyones concerns about there being no earth, hence my reasons for wanting to resolve the problems ASAP, fortunately house...

Bernard, Davy Owen has kindly supplied a picture and that is exactly how my board looks mirror image. DAVY thanks and yes it was supplied pre-configured all that was required was to cut the busbar to size. I installed it a couple of days ago, and am qualified to do so, may be my...

I have a problem with an MK Sentry split load board that I'd like to share... When I connect the earth from the supply head into the earth terminal from which I have fed the consumer unit with, the RCD trips. I have checked every socket on the RCD side of the board for any faults - there...

Thanks for the help looks like a new board is the only way round this. The rcd's aren't available so individual rcbo's would work out at £150 plus.

HELP REQUIRED. Does anyone know where I can get hold of stock for the above board? I need to upgrade it by split loading it with a kit and an RCD. Would prefer to use Siemens, but if there is a manufacturers components that fit the board I will do that instead. OR the alternative will...
