[QUOTE="not_shocked_yet, post: 382486, member: 25580"] Hi Canoeboy, With the feed back that I have had here and elsewhere I will finish the job I was asked to do which is to identify and rectify the fault causing the RCD to trip in the converted Stable block. From eliminating the circuits one by one at the stable DB I know which lighting circuit is causing the problem. As the building seems to have been uninhabited for quite a while I'm assuming it is something simple so will (after safe isolation at the CB) perform a visual inspection followed by continuity and insulation resistance, even if the fault appears obvious - good practice as well. My client knows that I am recently qualified (if short course counts!) and that my experience is limited. I will discuss with her that I continue to look at the other issue that I think I have found at no cost to her (I will re-do the tests to be sure) and if I am in any doubt will agree that she must contract another electrician. I will work FOC with them to gain the experience. Will report back EOP tomorrow. PS forgot to ask you what is your tipple? [/QUOTE]
