    Light circuit off at consumer board - but RCD / RCCB still tripped

    Hahaha! Two opening windows I'm pleased to report. Out of interest though, is that even the case for a small WC/cloakroom?

    Light circuit off at consumer board - but RCD / RCCB still tripped

    Quick update to say I'm all done with the extractor fan removal and replaced the worn ceiling rose while I was at it. Appreciate all the help that got me there :) Have a great weekend everyone

    Light circuit off at consumer board - but RCD / RCCB still tripped

    I should have added to the above.... When the initial tripping happened, the other half was cooking and so the oven was on. When I tested it wasn't. So that explains it. @timhoward - great advice, thank you.

    Light circuit off at consumer board - but RCD / RCCB still tripped

    That's a great and very helpful response @Lucien Nunes - and very much appreciated. Excellent timing too. No doubt as you were typing, I was in the WC with head torch on, touching neutrals to earths and wondering why it wasn't tripping. Meanwhile unbeknown to me you were explaining it...

    Light circuit off at consumer board - but RCD / RCCB still tripped

    That's all great to hear and along the lines(ish) of what I hoped was the case. But didn't want to risk it without being certain. In terms of being certain, is it safe to replicate what happened (MCB off, touch earth and neutral and see if it trips again)? Or is there any potential risk...

    Light circuit off at consumer board - but RCD / RCCB still tripped

    Hi I'm removing an extractor fan from our WC, as it's just a toilet and sink and we never use hot water in there anyway... The extractor is on the light circuit, but has it's own pull cord. I double checked by turning the fan and light on, then switching off the MCB. All good. I triple checked...

    Which Aerial CoAx Connectors? And a question RE couplers

    Hi again Having decided from my previous post to go with Webro WF100 (100m for £40 on Amazon), now I'm trying to find out what connector to use . I just need a CoAx to connect to the TV. Any recommendations please? At the aerial, the cable connects via screw terminals so nothing needed there...

    Is all CT100 aerial cable me equal? What's best for external?

    I just don't think it hurts to get more opinions. If I need work doing in the house, I get more than one quote. If I'm learning about something, I consult more than one source. Opinions and answers are subjective so I think it pays to have a few. Just seems sensible to me, although I'm the...

    Is all CT100 aerial cable me equal? What's best for external?

    Hi all I want to replace the aerial cable in my house as the old stuff is... old! And it has several joins along the way. In the first instance the run from aerial to TV will be around 20 metres. I remember when I looked into it years ago that CT100 is the best stuff to get. So just looking...

    Replacing ceiling lamp holder - which wire goes where?

    Hi all First and foremost I don't want to break any forum rules or upset any members, so if my question is an inappropriate one please feel free to remove the thread. I took note and colour coded (hence the tape) before disconnecting so that if I didn't know how to wire in the new ceiling...

    Replacing ceiling lamp holder - which wire goes where?

    Hi all I've got a knackered ceiling lamp holder I want to change. It's the type with no flex - the lamp holder is directly on the ceiling mount. But the new one I want to put in will be rose-flex-lamp holder. There are no markings on the old one I'm replacing. So what's the easiest way to...
