Call in an electrician mate! If any one gives you advice they would be a fool! Because with all due respect you were daft enough to. Work live! Sure someone on here is in your area!

Not so simple afterall then. Call an electrician before you are hurt.

Which you nearly were OP as the circuit was live!

I actually got called to a lighting problem yesterday. The Gentleman had got a neutral connected incorrectly in his light fitting making some other lights on the same circuit glow dimly. He had the sense to call me out though before any harm was done fortunately.

I wasn't working live. I turned everything on to test and there must of been a brake in the live whice touched the earth. I was thinking there has now had a brake in the circuit which I was thinking bout chasing from the main rosé the so one only was stumped due to not having roses at every ceiling light

Got called to a job where at the lights the guy joined all the reds and blacks together then connected the light but could not understand why the MCB tripped everytime he switched the light on although he said the light was on even although the switch was off.

Answers on a postcard please

 

[telectrix]

is it a disc brake or a drum brake?
