My upstairs ring main has been intermitently tripping now for about a week.
ive unplugged everything apart from a fridge/freezer and it still trips. It can take anything from 1 hour to trip up to a whole day before it trips.
So thinking it was the fridge/freezer I pat tested and it passed all ok so i have plugged that in downstairs for now via an extention lead, however the tripping has continued.
I have checked the backs of all the plug sockets for loose wires ect and seems to be no fault. I have also swaped over the upstairs and downstairs mcb's to rule out a faulty mcb.
The ring is running on 28a mcb and the fuse box is not an rcd.
Any serjestions on a possible fault?
