Installing some lighting in a new extension. The RCD is tripping, and it's doing my head in. I can't work out if the problem is upstream or downstream of my junction box.
Basically I have 1 in and 7 out via wago connectors. L, N and E. The live feeds go to various switches,
If I remove both neutral and live IN, it doesn't trip. 240v detected across L and N
If I just remove live IN, it trips.
If I connect the L to any of the 7 outs individually, with N connected, it trips.
So the question is: where's the leak? If nothing has a live feed, how can there be a leak?
Note there is no load on any of the circuits yet. I had turned it on to test some lighting sockets, but never got that far. I have also installed normal sockets which are working and tested, as well as feeds for an aircon and a blind, none of which were turned on at the CU while this was going on
Thanks in advance
