Hiya

Installed a ne MK 12way Split load DB. When a lighting circuit is energised, the RCD trips out. This lighting circuit is on the non RCD side of the DB. By the way the lighting circiut does not have a CPC ( Built early 70's ). Looks like I will have to start breaking the cicuit down and get the old Megger out.:confused:

Did you see the the mistake. No Earth? Never work on an installation with no earth. This installation requires a total rewire. If a customer does not want to pay, walk away. Remember, Its your name on the paperwork.
