RCD tripping on circuits after new board change nitemare

[vernam616]

You use a bit of common sense and have a think of the age when taking board cover off, the surroundings also give a good indication


Of All the boards ive changed now its never bit me in the arse( and trust me its a hell of a lot of boards)

That a a fur shout but isn't it still better to do some per testing work it's only a couple of hours work and can save you a load of hassle

I think you should have done an EICR before swapping the CU. It is a good reference to accompany an electrical installation certificate. It goes a long way to show what you did and what you did NOT do. If something did go wrong with the job six months down the line you will need all the proof you can get, Remember in a court of law ‘HEAR SAY ‘ is not admissible as evidence ! ! ! !

Shouldn't need a couple of hours, you only need to do some quick confirmation tests on any rings and lighting, (borrowed neutral syndrome..lol!!) That should be sufficient for most homes. The problems come, if you DO find things wrong!! lol!!
