Hi all i'm after a bit of advice. (2nd year apprentice..)
I recently done a bit of work in a flat and replaced the old fuse CU. The cable for the socket outlet that was supplying the boiler and the washing machine (which are in the bathroom, small flat) was just spared off from the ring main for the sockets.
So I disconnected the cable and pulled another in into the new CU and wired it into an B type 20amp 30ma RCBO.
When I came to turn on I checked the socket by plugging in the drill charger and it trips. I turned all other breakers off and tried again and still trips. I think it may be an earth fault? Not sure how i'd go about finding the fault that is causing it to trip.
Hope that all didn't sound to stupid and someone could give me some advice!?
Cheers
