Sunday's roast pork dinner was cooking nicely then suddenly BANG all the lights went out. Soon realised the problem was the oven itself. Switched the oven off and reset the mains RCD and all Ok. Then switched the oven back on and it all lights up ok, reset the clock and then turn the dial and...

Recently started having issues with it tripping the RCD when the gate is closing, only appears to happen when the temperature outside is above 15 degC (never happens on a cold day) I've replaced the RCD with no luck, motor capacitor has been tested and is all gd. Photocells have been inspected...

Weird one and was wondering if anyone can help? I originally booked for an electrician to come and have a look but had to cancel due to being in isolation for 12 weeks (fun). Can anyone give me any ideas on what this might be? Electrician said it could just need a new pull cord switch in the...

Hi all, Hoping you can offer a novice some advice. We've had the house re-wired with a new fuse box with RCBOs. Our electrician left the build a while ago and has sadly passed away since. Before he left he didn't finish connecting up the SWA cable running to the shed, so I've done it using some...

Hi, I have a Hager CE464J installed in my house to feed a number of AC split units+some other loads. Sometimes, when I am alone at home, non of the AC are turned on. However, when I wake up at morning, I see that the breaker has tripped. In order to fine the issue, I decided to trip load CB...

The distance between a new CU and the existing meter will be more than 2m (probably closer to 5m), do I need a trip/isolator between them?

I've recently bought a new Charles Church (Persimmon) home. After moving in i decided to change some upstairs sockets. I isolated first floor sockets with the switch but the sockets in 2 rooms don't switch them off, however the downstairs sockets does in fact switch them off. I spoke to the site...

Hi folks, We've had some sporadic tripping of the RCD recently. Probably needs a little background in case that helps. About a year ago, RCD trips and wont reset. Disconnect appliances one at a time until RCD resets; offending appliance seems to be old cooker. Remove the cooker, everything...

Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me. We have recently done some renovations work and my electrician has installed a new consumer unit with RCDs etc. Separate to this is a small older unit which must have been installed when the previous owners had an electric shower installed - this is the only...

In brief: my house has an oven circuit with a 6mm cable and a 20 amp MCB. Both the electric hob (6.5 kW) and oven (2.8 kW) are on this circuit. Can I upgrade the MCB to stop it tripping? Background: We moved in to the house a couple of years ago. The built in oven was slow to heat up so I did a...

Apologies if this is amateur to the extreme and not particularly clear. Arrived home, electric had gone out. My partner flipped the RCD switch back up and there was a flash and a loud bang from either the washing machine or the socket it was plugged in to - unfortunately hard to tell as it was...
