Hi All
Has a strange issue.
Was ironing upstairs and all the electrics were tripped. I reset the RCD and switched everything back on and upstairs is working all fine.
Strangely though, the downstairs conservatory sockets are no longer working.
The MCB that controls the conservatory sockets immediately trips when I try to turn it on, and it then immediately also trips the RCD.
The conservatory MCB is linked to 3 internal sockets (never used) and also one a spurred off external socket (used very occasionally) AND underfloor heating.
Never had any issues at all until the iron upstairs tripped everything up.
Could it be that the MCB is now somehow faulty from the ironing incident? And that is why the RCD trips immediately when turning it on?
Many Thanks
