[QUOTE="Martin Noakes, post: 433199, member: 28288"] I have taken the lamps out and removed the timer. I can now reset the MCB. I'm wondering whether the new switch has also blown because of the load I had. I have put the meter across the terminals and have found the following: SL is always connected to the Live terminal whether the timer is in the on position or not. The Neutral is also permanently connected to the neutral. I would have thought that when the switch is off the neutral and Live should NOT be connected together am I correct[ATTACH]7616._xfImport[/ATTACH]? The manufacturer of the timer states - see image 2. I was using both LED and Halogen bulbs about 150W of halogen[ATTACH]7618._xfImport[/ATTACH] [URL="http://www.timeguard.com/media/2721/TS900N_Instructs_100x72_issue2.pdf"]http://www.timeguard.com/media/2721/TS900N_Instructs_100x72_issue2.pdf[/URL] [ATTACH]7617._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
