Fault

[Clive P]

Might be worth checking the configuration of the main neutrals in the CU. I had one awhile ago where a friend asked me to check out a CU his son had installed ( an apprentice ), and he had the Neutrals configured incorrectly in the Board, with so many configurations possible these days its easy to get one wrong and to miss it when you look at the Board. Everything worked fine until an appliance was plugged in and then the Board tripped!

Regards.

check any appliance on a fused spur, got a simliar problem recently in a static caravan and after a few hours got it down to a trapped flex at back of built in gas oven, plumber out to remove appliance then repair and plumber to refit oven!!

so the cable was just trapped, not wrapped round a hot pipe or burnt with a blowlamp? bloody poor plumber if you ask me.

Same thing happened to me and my partner few weeks ago.. After trying to look too deeply into it the matter we found it was right in front of our eyes.. Silly mistake, yapping about one thing an another distracted us from the obvious.. Check the neutrals.. :blush5:

This was a fault in an existing instalation, unlikelly to be swaped neutrals.
