HI..
I'm in Scotland, UK..
The 15a Wylex push button breaker that supplies my garage with power (30m from the house mains panel) randomly trips.
I threw the isolator switch in the garage, so there was nothing loading the circuit but it still trips out after a few hours.
Changed the breaker to see if it was developing a hair trigger, but to no avail.
I disconnected the cable at the panel and also at the garage's isolator and measured the resistance values in ohms between the E, L & N at each end of the supply cable which are:
House..
E-L 11K, E-N 10K, L-N 5K
Garage..
E-L 5K, E-N 1K, L-N 3K
Could anyone tell me what these values should be for the 30m cable supply to my garage before I retreat to the 1m crawl space underneath my house and start tracing it out (no idea where the cable routes under my back garden, but I can probably trace it under the house).
Cheers.
