Hi, thanks for the advice on this it’s been really helpful, I’ll let you know what the outcome is tomorrow and will try and find way of uploading the photo’s of fuse box 👍

Glasgow It varies, sometimes it trips immediately, sometimes 20 mins and anything up to 40mins and a couple of times through the day when no lights are on it trips. Had the main circuit breaker replaced but it didn’t make any difference 

Do you mean the junction box? I think neighbour mentioned an earth wire wrapped around it? Has any of my RCD photos uploaded?  When I try to upload photo it’s telling me it’s too big even tho I’ve cropped it. Any ideas how to get it uploaded?

It doesn’t seem to be uploading pic  Is anyone seeing the photos of RCD?

Ok I’ll try that - just to say every time it trips it’s the fuse for lights that flips - you’ll notice the shower is flipped too but shower is no longer on the board nothing goes through that

Yes, I think you’re right - not one person has given me a detailed account of their fault finding steps. This has gone on for months Built in 1940’s, refurbished last year with partial rewire  (full rewire supposed to have been around 2000)

I was trying to upload photos but couldn’t manage - do u know how to do it on here and I’ll upload them? It’s the circuit switch for lights in RCD that keeps blowing, and that’s what sparks have said

RCD

Yes they said it would have to be completely rewired and looked suitably horrified. No contradictions - just confusion as to why if it was so dangerous they left it saying they had no time to do it (almost 2 hours late). They didn’t check to see what was causing fault just put it down to this...

I’ve had it all checked 3 times with fault finding explorations - all light fittings removed and checked, bulbs out then replaced one by one, all light switches opened and wiring checked, RCD board wiring and screws checked/tightened and ok flexes in all drops good condition that’s why finally...

Thanks Murdoch, yes I’m agreeing with that. I’ve arranged for another spark to have a look, when I emailed him with pic he said the same as you and that he’s seen  this a lot. They had me worried 😧  I agree Sharpend 100% thanks

Hi everyone, the lights in my house keep tripping, fault finding has been done on two occasions and the problem wasn't found but pointed to it being in junction box, which was somewhere underneath loft floor. It was a bit of hassle finding where the unmarked JB was but finally found it. When it...
