Discuss 30ma rcd tripping after replacing consumer unit in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Never energised a circuit without testing it, are you sure?
No....
When changing a board I carry out the dead testing on each circuit as im terminating them in to the new board.
I guess that i've come a bit unstuck with the fault in the ch system being detected by the 30ma rcd. I'll get it sorted tomorrow.
Yes, re energised the circuit which i should have tested first. Have you ever energised a circuit without testing it?
This ain't no wind up, just felt like seeking a bit of advice before going back to work tomorrow.
That's exactly what I do, I will have also carried out certain dead tests prior to agreeing to the work so i know what I'm in for.
Makes sense Dave.
Does anyone enjoy fault finding?
I'll try and make it theraputic next time i'm testing!
I'll let you know how i got on.
I love it Muzza, you get to become a bit of a detective and have to start a logical process of elimination. However, I would not enjoy if I was under pressure so I try and plan and make time for the fault finding.
Makes sense Dave.

Me too, the satisfaction you get when you have tracked down that elusive neutral earth fault and you test the cable again and it's all good and then flick on the RCD and it holds. You think glass of wine when I get home to celebrate.
Then you go home really chuffed at fixing it and tell the Missus and go into massive detail about what the problem was and all she can say is "oh right"! Then the bubble is burst and your back to reality.:wink_smile:
Makes sense Dave.
