Hello there basically i rewired a 3 bedroom house about 9 months ago tested out fine and have had no problems at all.
However received a phone call today from customer saying that all power has gone off, arrived and found that on the dual RCD board i fitted i would switch on the shower circuit (switch on at button on shower) which is powered by the 2nd RCD and switch on the 1st RCD powering kitchen lights it will trip the 1st RCD. In the end i totally disconnected the kitchen lights and the shower worked perfect and all the other circuits but as soon as the kitchen lights are connected it trips.
The circuit is not being over loaded as i have done a clamp test etc
Also when I had the kitchen lights on if i plugged anything into the sockets it would trip, it just seem as soon as a load is applied with the kitchen lights on it trips.
I have had done insulation resistance but my tester was playing up im going to do insulations tests tomorow with my new tester.
Also customer said that they changed one of the bulbs in kitchen ( 12 downlights ) as when it first started the rcd had tripped
Please help lol just cant get my head around it
