Power to sockets problem

kevin, are you saying the switch will physically not move up?

I have 2 hager boards with RCDs and find I have to push very hard to move the rocker up on them - the MCBs are dead easy in comparison.

The trip arm will not push up, if you say they are very stiff then I will go back and have another final look at it, it does feel like it is in the down possition with some kind of lock on it, is that possible?. I did not think I had to push them very hard but I will try again. Thanks for the advise.

Thank you Steve,
Your advise was right, it was just a lot harder to push up then the other trips. Everything seems to be working fine now (Touch wood)
Thank you everyone for replys

I think its because the RCDs are double pole. Certainly the RCBOs arent as hard to push, they are only single pole.

'tis not unknown for people, knowing they are to be evicted and their house repossessed, to do a bit of "slash & burn" before they go.
