Plugged in the socket, is it?
 
You've got the lives and the neutrals in the wrong terminals. Not sure that this would cause the tripping fault you describe but it's incorrect none the less.
 
Lives are both red, switched live is black with red tape last black is neutral, greens/yellows are earths.................brown from fan-to black with red tape, blue from fan to single black. connect all yellow/greens together. reds connected together but not connected to fan
