I'm very certain I'm TT - there is no link to the main fuse from the earth bar in the consumer unit - an earth cable exits out the wall and down a steel conduit and is terminated to an earth rod. TT is ticked on the H.A.S.T.E. Electrical Condition Report, and Ze ohms is quoted as "237V @ 0.24"...

Not been back for a while - guess I thought I was getting a hard time from some. The DNO did their own tests on my house - no problems. They {sort of} ramp tested the RCD, it was a bit primitive being that they could only switch to 10, 15, 20, 25, etc mA, but my RCD didn't trip at 15, but did...

I have said I will get it tested..... Will they pay for the BS test if it passes?, because that will prove their supply is causing the problems. Would you ask them to pay if it were your property affected by something outside of your tested, and passed, installation? PS. what do you mean by...

The house had been re-wired a year before we bought it, that would be about 20 years ago. When did grey insulation come in? "you really have no alternative but to prove your own install is NOT at fault first, then, and only then can you go to the DNO, and you could also present the DNO with...

1. My installation has had no significant tripping for the 7 or 8 years since my dis board was installed (i guess once or twice a year) - each time it was attributable to something internal, like once my dishwasher sump flooded the motor. Each time the RCD told me something was wrong, it got...

Thanks Manator, although I'd be glad of a heads-up on your TLA's.... IF I knew what they stood for, I'd read up and understand them. PME ? TNS ? "You really should have a test done on your installation to rule out any internal faults though. " If I had internal faults, I would be getting...

Thanks for the replies guys.... For those who think it is a coincidence, and that the fault is most likely internal, I thought I had pretty much nailed it down to external influence, as I checked with the pub on the last 4 of the occasions that the trip had gone. Each and every time they had...

Hi guys (and gals) - here's the basics My dis board new 7 years ago (LeGrande). Electricity supply company laid new supply cables down the street around 2 months ago. Have been getting sporadic RCD disconnects since then, but always 11:00 to 11:30 PM. weekdays. Weekends its 00:00 to 00:30. I...
