Hi
Any help appreciated before I have to call an electrician and hand over me money...
Porch light blew the other day and the MCB tripped (this is as per the wife's retelling, I wasn't there at the time...). Wife reset the MCB but the circuit wouldn't (and still won't) work. The circuit has all the main lights for the front of the house (living room, our bedroom, hallway etc.) so we're keen to get them back on!
I swapped the MCB for the circuit with a spare MCB just in case there was some problem there (though I don't know for sure the other MCB is OK) but the circuit is still out. There are basically four pendants and two sets of LV halogens on the circuit. Each set of halogens seems to wired as a star.
Any ideas as to what I should check next? What's the most methodical way to isolate the fault? The circuit and all lights on it have been fine until the porch light blew and the wiring in the house generally is in good order.
Cheers
Asif
