Sewage treatment works haven't seen the main incomer yet just had a quick recce to see previous test records (from 3 years ago) yesterday which appear to be non existent! BTW I tested a socket ZS on Three Low off this and it was 0.42 about 4 meters from the board

Place one test probe on Earth and one on the Live and you should get 230v on AC . I don't think you can get an RCBO for that? might be able to get a longer bus bar and modify the board. Take the cover off carefully and take a photo of the whole board. buy yourself a proper non contact volt stick...

Thoughts ? I've posted this on another forum but although this is a DIY some of you guys are pretty knowledgeable. Got to Test this next week. The board looks to have a modified incomer, what concerns me the most (not for testing) is should any kind of fault occur to this board and the RCCB...

Are you able to access the ceiling void from above? Or fit one of these Wago inline box if there's a big enough hole where the cables come out the ceiling?

Depends what's terminated & how in the Dining room switch, somethings shorting out.

The next thing to do it take off the Dinning room light switch and upload a photo to see if there's anything obvious on that part of the lighting circuit. You may have to disconnect the Earths you re-terminated to determine whether with them removed the light works and fuse doesn't pop. Have...

Does the new light just hang from the Rose? If so take the black cable out of the box you were holding and connect the Brown wire to the Blue/Sleeved switch live on the right of the Rose and the Blue to the left had side neutral block. It might look a bit odd with a black cable coming out the...

Is that including all the Labour burying it and back filling etc or clipping it to a wall that does sound a tad expensive for one circuit but could well be a lot of work. How far is that run? Maybe get two more quotes but times ticking, so I'd perhaps put a duct in and rope it before the Shed...

What cable size is the circuit on? They'd be no need to lower the Fuse, the Oven shouldn't create an overload current that high unless there was something seriously wrong and if it did the 13A would blow if you're using a Plug for it?

No not really unless the SWA is terminated correctly then it will not meet regulations, as EFLI has stated this isn't really a DIY. Suggest you look on you tube Consult an electrician, any SWA requires the Armoured part to be Earthed (at least one end best practice both ends) so needs to be...

Has the light switch got a Test switch of some sort to switch it on overriding a PIR ? Did the Ring not come with instructions? Would have thought the wire in one goes to L and one Neutral to Neutral and the other wire just put on a Choc block or Wago

Is the Feed to the transformer ok? Any loose connections? Sounds very frustrating!

This could be caused by a Number of issues. Often it's caused by Water Ingress, with the fuse off check to see if there is any water present on the circuit. Is there a fused connection unit feeding the boiler / under floor heating? Are there two separate ones for each or one for both?

Do you mean just removing a back box knockout and drilling out through the wall?

I think Sunray has answered my query - looks like there may have been storage heaters in the property on Economy 7 at some point and now the five storage heater FCU's may have been changed to single sockets?

Hi Tony, I think so, As per Flameport's comments - If every MCB is switched off and both RCDS off and the only way of powering down that socket and Vent-Axia Fused Spur is by the Main switch then it sounds like a secondary cable is feeding that circuit and does require investigating.

Those are MCBs not RCDs. If all those MCBS FED from the 63A RCD are off it must be being Fed from an MCB something to the left of the RCD shown - can you try those? Can you post a photo with all the MCBS in the board as looking at the photo it looks like you have a dual RCD board? N.B. Might...

I'm not entirely sure what you mean in Q1. circuits 6,7,8 & 9 are FED from the RCD by the looks of it. Doesn't the MCB circuit 6 B32A power that double socket and vent-axia? Q2 - can't see a problem could sit right next to the other one if that was moved a couple of inches to the left

The board looks like it feeds four socket circuits on the right via b16 MCB's not on the RCD protected side which looks a bit odd. is this a normal house?

The light switch requires re-terminating as you can see bare copper on one of the terminations. If you do decide to install a sunken back box you may find you'll need to fit it at least a couple of inches above the surface mounted box as where it is you may find it difficult to plug equipment in...
