Hi again guys - -I'm still having trouble with the electrics. I am ordering a replacement RCCB just so that I can eliminate that from the equation, and noticed another product on the same website: http://www.allaboutelectrics.co.uk/doc/12/vid/2781/RCD_PROTECTED_SOCKET__-_PLASTIC.html Can I...

OK, the power went off again about an hour ago so I took the opportunity to remove the old Immersion circuit cables. I tightened everything back up afterwards and switched it all back on. The power tripped again a short while ago. I guess I'm down to trying to move the fridge, boiler...

I've been trying to get the sparks back for weeks, but he is apparently 'very busy'... OK, if I switch the main switch (the big red one on the right) off, I can remove the individual ccts, yes? We used to have two immersion heaters (used to be two cottages), but both are now removed and...

All good suggestions - thanks. There's always the possibility that its damaged cables, but how do I isolate which circuit it's on? Turn off all but one circuit and wait for it to trip?

Hi folks, sorry for the delay but much testing has been taking place... :) The fridge is brand new, as is the boiler, so unlikely to be those we think. Anyway, here is the breakdown of symptoms: Overview - the RCCB trips (it controls just the sockets MCBs on the left sie of the...

I've had a look at other similar threads on this subject but can't find anything that describes my problem so here goes... :) I'm not an electrician so may get some of the terms wrong - please just ask for clarification and I'll do my best to explain what I mean... We have an old house...
