Hi everyone.
Wondering if anyone has any ideas on this?
Last night I got in from work and my board had tripped.
Tried resetting main breaker (no good)
To cut a long story short I narrowed it down to the ring main (only one ring main for whole house), turned out I had a broken live which touched the Earth on one of the sockets and it went bang.
Anyway today rewired that socket, thinking that would be it, I turned all on and yay working, so I thought?
Fridge now not working, plug in main RCD tripped.
Plugged Kettle in, same thing.
Plugged in microwave same thing.
Immersion heater does same thing as well.
However last night it was all working and was all day until I did repair on damaged socket.
The reason I know this is because I have a circuit on spurs (old storage heaters were in house) so used this last night and today for fridge etc to work.
I can have ring main on but can't plug any of the above in or put immersion heater or cooker on without main RCD tripping on board.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Main RCD 63A
Thanks
