RCD tripping

[a1]

Bent pin in the Lamp Holder?

I have come across this before. Impatient/uneducated people trying to force the lamp in at an angle?

Now thats nearly as bad as a bloke testing an electric fire...

finding it don't work...

deciding chuck it away so cuts the plug off....

Just forgets to unplug it and switch it off first!!!!

ohhhhh! BANG pop goes MCB & RCD!!!!

oh and yes... that was me earlier today in a hurry to get down to the tip with some rubbish... just check that old halogen fire thingy...

Shoulda got an electrician in to teach me safe isolation before I cut the flexBlushingO)

Spec - as per my original posts on this - request for meter readings.

It would appear the O/P isn`t taking any readings, and is trying the "suck it and see" approach.

In which case, there isn`t really anything further any of us can add. Without definative test results, almost anything could be the fault.

Soul..... Can you give us:

Earthing system, insulation test results, and CU circuit details please?

Thanks

It's good to test the RCD every now and again!

Indeed so sir...

I did notice your initial comments way back on post #2!

One of the lamps has blown; and is shorting; thereby tripping the RCD.OR.

There is a further fault on the cable/fitting, causing a short when lamp is inserted.

Some test results would be useful, please?

as is most often the case... you are straight to the point and looking at the key to solving the problem.

Hi again guys!

The problem is solved now.The neutral for the lights was on the rcd buzz bar.I changed from rcd side to main side and lights start working.

Now, a new question: How the lights were working before???

The tenant said nobody touched the CU.Is this possible?

Surely not with out someones help.

Unless they have a ghost

 

[SoulkillaH]

The guy there seems to be honest .So, is not other explanation??Is any possibility for lights to work with the neutral from the rcd side?

 

[kme]

in a word: NO

 

[SoulkillaH]

Many thanks to everybody!

Happy X mas to all!

Could have been an electrician mouse that had got into the CU
