hi, need help putting up a ceiling light in my front room after having the ceiling skimmed. (plasterer took out old fitting and cant remember what wires went where!)
there are 3 cables coming in, 2 of which have black, red and bare copper. the 3rd cable has yellow, green, red and bare copper.
the 3 blacks go into a connector block, red and yellow into another block and the green has its own block. the 3 bare copper (earths?) are taped up(ish) and not connected to anything
when i screw the new bracket into the ceiling it trips the rcb without even connecting any wires, and when i remove the bracket the rcb is fine!
any help or is it one for a sparkie.......??
here is a picture of the wires......
