hi folks i am hoping some one can point me in the right direction
i have just installed a wylex split load uint
http://www.electrium.co.uk/Wylex17th Edition.pdf
i have wired in the sockets on the rcd side to the left as you are looking at it on a 32 amp mcb and the lights to a 6amp mcb on the right of the unit on the none rcd side.
however when you turn on the mcb for lights they trip the rcd to the left of the mcb and i cannot understand why as they are on the none rcd side or have i done something wrong.
if i transfer the lights over to the left rcd side the work fine and do not trip
I think the problem may be down to a fault dimmer as when the lights are wired on the rcd side and you turn on the dimmer it trips the mcb
any advice welcomed
cheers
jon
