i phoned him because it was my first job and not registered yet and told him i was notifing him i was undertaking the work for the niceic inspection and he told me there was no need to inform him for a cu change. i tested the circuits by going to the roses, sockets etc and doing my tests there...

cheers fingrinal, first post about the topic, not saying the others arent helpful. will take your advise on board ta ben

i would check the connections in the other board to make sure te terminals are tight and wiring is correct, obviously check if its no appliances in there but would have already done that. how am i getting on? :? i sure wouldnt do it at 9.40pm

the problem would be in the garage, would the arage be on its own rcd? not sure. but the fault is on that circuit

it sounds like you want me to fix your own fault for you mate :)

i would disconnect neutral from the circuits protected after the rcd and test between live and earth. i would then connect them one at a time to see which circuit is causing the problem. i take it this is a common fault to be called out for

yes i suppose it would be but they would be disconnected before i would do the test anyway. i know what you mean tho, it could be one of the appliances causing the fault ben

wow this feels like im back at school again cheers guys :) i would do insulation resistance tests?

earth leakage (faults)?

i remember being told that now, ooppps. i think i should have phoned the suppliers first. is that the right course of action?

firstly i would probably test the rcd to see if there was a fault with the rcd its self, if that was ok then i would test the circuits that are protect by it and see if there are any faults on them.
