Changed a light fitting and now it trips the circuit (Ed.)

[Kevdiy123]

Hi all
Fitted a new light in our closet. Existing wiring just a different light fitting. Worked fine before. Now when I turn it off it trips the system.
Thought it was the fuse near the light but turns out there was never a fuse in there anyway. Wires appear to be where they were originally so at a loss. Changed back to old light fitting and still trips. Any ideas?

Looks like the red and black is live and switched live not live and neutral.

Does it only trip when you pull the cord?

 

[Kevdiy123]

Yes turn cord off and turn it back on a fuse box and light works. Pull cord and it trips again

Does this clear it up?

You don't have a supply out.

Can't really see what is going where.

Tried a different switch?-even a flat plate type one temporarily.

The cable with the brown, black, and grey - where does that go to?
If you can photograph the connections of where that ends up, we should be able to give you a quick solution.

Some of the screw terminals, in what appears to be the new fitting look rounded slightly.

Have you screwed down onto insulation? Also, some of the insulation looks in poor condition.

Can you post a photo of the terminals of where they’re suppose to go?

?

And shorten all those exposed copper ends

If we are to assume the grey wire was never used, then follow Sunray's diagram.

Now when I turn it off it trips the system.

It's a pull switch - I rather suspect it is tripping, when switched on, and your fault is an issue at the lamp holder.

Do you have a picture of the wiring connections at the original light fitting before it was removed ?

Thanks for everyone's input this was a wiring issue which Sunray's image solved
