[QUOTE="Duane B, post: 456581, member: 27137"] 1st thing I did was check and double check fly leads I.e on netral bars etc. Been caught out before on that. All 100% . Ring intact on end to end testing. Insulation resistance >500 Meg 500vdc Even tested as a double check on a 1000vdc result greater >1000 i.r done between. L to E and L,N to E & N to E. Etc all OK. Lights at 18 M ohm but there on 2nd rcd holding. Which ramp tests at 27 milli amps. Still think sockets as low ohm test all over the show on shutters being worn. But never had troppo g on worn shutters before. Everything unplugged. It trips. Thought at 1st fault on appliances. I.e fridge etc. Even with something of mine it trips. And it's all pat tested. Lol. Gonna make up an earth leakage test lead. Immersion cable melted in parts hence rewire that signs of overload. Plus I've always done them in 2.5mm One ring on a whole house Inc kitchen not the best really is it on 50 year old pvc pvc [/QUOTE]
