Hi,
Please bare with me i'm not the greatest electrical person in the world.
About 6 months ago a property a few doors down and across the road from us damaged some underground electrical cables whilst having an extension built, this tripped our Protek consumer unit constantly while the problem was there. After about a 3 days of the electric board involved it was repaired.
Now for my problem. Ever since that has happened i'm now getting my Protek cu trip out, it's not tripping out on the large switch, but it's tripping out the main rcd at random times such as middle of the night and whenever it feels like it really and taking out most of the house.
I have tried relentlesley since then to eliminate appliances that may be causing the problem at my end, but just when you think you have found the solution it trips again.
Could this be something to do with the other property? or was it likely a coincidence?
