Hi all
Can I ask for some advice please? About 3 or 4 days ago the RCD for downstairs lighting tripped. Nothing too strange you might think.
The strange thing is that the RCD tripped during the day when no lights where on. I reset it and it went back on fine only to trip again about an hour later.
I turned it back on and tried all the lights on the circuit and they all worked fine and didn't trip the RCD when I turned them all on.
This has been the pattern for the last few days, it trips, I turn it on and then it goes again half an hour later even though nothing has been switched on anywhere.
No work has been done on the circuit for at least 6 months when we changed a light fitting but the circuit worked perfectly after that was changed up until now.
It an old wylex CU and the fuse is 6amp.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this might be happening.
thanks
andy
