[QUOTE="Mick89, post: 497443, member: 32805"] Hi, Thanks for all the advice. I didn’t connect the neutral to the wrong bar, I do understand some basic principles. Thanks for Doc Hudson’s excellent advice, I carried out a continuity/resistance test on the ring circuit. This highlighted a minor issue where I had put a neutral cable to far in and it was secured through the insulation, resolved that, checked the resistance again across all the sockets and reconected to CU, no tripping all working as it should. On the advice of Doc Hudson I think I’ll get someone to check it to ensure it’s all ok. cant believe such a tiny difference in the resistance was causing it to trip the rcd. thanks again [/QUOTE]
