[QUOTE="Mick89, post: 497417, member: 32805"] Hi, I've just had a garage built, I have laid some armoured cable from the house CU to the garage CU. The garage has a small ring circuit and a lighting circuit. When I was setting it up I just used a household plug on the end of the armoured cable plugged in to a socket, it all worked well and I was able to check all the sockets in the garage and everything worked ok. When I tried to connect the cable in to the house(main) CU it was all ok but as soon as I put a load on the circuit in the garage whether it be a light or an electric drill the RCD in the house CU tripped, this happens repeatedly and cannot think why this is happening as it’s a very basic set up. There was no load on the MCB I was connecting the cable to and tried it on a number of the MCB’s. I hope someone is able to point me in the right direction. thanks mick [/QUOTE]
