Hey all, hoping someone can help with a particularly annoying problem! Have changed a load of LED downlights to the fixed bulb Centorio type (14W, colour adjustable,dimmable with remote) and all 8 are fed from CBUS relay channel.
The strange thing is, they work when first switched on, but then if they’re switched off and then back on again after 10 seconds, the channel MCB trips. MCB is (now) a 2A Type C.
If I leave them in at the switch and use the remote to switch on and off then they never trip.
If I disconnect one fitting then it works and never trips. Could it still be inrush current even after changing to a 2A CB?
All suggestions welcome!
 
TL;DR
8 downlights trip the breaker when turning on for the second time o ly. 7 don’t at all. Changed 1A Type C breaker for 2A already.
