RCD tripping?

With respect to Paul who obviously doesn't have enough work - check out the previous reply regarding the neutral connections.

Attempting repairs can be dangerous.
In many instances work should only be undertaken by a qualified professional.


I am qualified and can be reached on 07747 571292. warwickshire and associated counties.

What you are doing is illegal and can only carried out by a real spark with a certificate. If you do it yourself you will either kill yourself, burn down your home ( insurance will not pay out) and you will not be able to sell it as it could fail inspection.

The fact the RCD is tripping points to an imbalance between live and neutral. I know what you have done but I am not going to tell you what you have done for FREE!!

IF U ARE USING A SPLIT LOAD CONSUMER UNIT MAKE SURE YOUR NEUTRALS FOR THE DOWNSTAIRS CIRCUIT ARE CONNECTED TO CORRECT NEUTRAL BAR IN CONSUMER UNIT IE:-SAME NEUTRAL BAR AS THE NEUTRALS FOR THE UPSTAIRS SOCKET CIRCUIT

Didn't think changing consumer units was advised unless you are part P certified.

Be careful whatever you do - if in doubt get an electrician in

Methinks you have a neutral to earth short somewhere in your system...this (and other cross connections) can trip RCD's even if the current is off.
