Hi Guys,
An elderly customer has just moved into her new flat, unfortunately her heating on E7 doesn't work. The E7 dist board RCD is tripping (probably as it kicks in).
She has two boards, one normal and one E7. The E7 board is feeding three night storage heaters and an immersion heater. All the wiring checks out fine, the heaters are working (tested). What I find strange is that the neutral tails for both boards are commoned at a Henley block BUT when I tried to jump a feed from the live board, the live board RCD trips. The culprit appears to be when the neutral bus bars of both boards are connected directly to each other. What I can't understand is why, when both neutrals main tails are already commoned?
As for the heaters not working I think a time delay RCD may remedy the tripping. Any ideas greatly appreciated!
