Trying to fix my mates lights. Keeps tripping I thinking the connecter block can't handle the Amps cause its 3 circuits going to it.
Am I right. What size of connecter block should I use.
Thanks for all the reply, I think 1 of the neutral connection was on the wrong neutral bar.It’s more likely all the same colours have been connected together (not realising 1 cable goes to the switch), bit of a guess but I’m sure all of us here have seen this diy mistake so many times
Ye, I don't understand. The neutral was the problem mate. What should I have done. When I put them all together they tripped.Be careful! that neutral could be a switch live ,there is usually a neutral “bar” ,a permanent live “bar” and a switch live “bar”, switch live should be sleeved with red or brown sleeve but often is not.
I was changing the light.Problems like this, we need as much detail as possible. (photos help immensely) ie. what part of the circuit were you working on? OP doesn't mention. The light, the switch, the board or some hidden joint box?

exactly, i think your right bud, should I have put this in with the lives? Its wasn't a rosie it was led light.Sounds like you assumed the switched live was a neutral and connected it to the neutral of the supply. Which would definitely trip the MCB!
