tripping

Hi. I'm looking for some guidance on RCD/ RCBO selection for heat pumps. The heat pump manual states: The RCDs follow the standards and regulations but may be not applicable for heat pumps that have high frequency ampere peaks caused by the inverter technology. Therefore, RCDs need to be...

hi all, yesterday eve our IDV75 tumble dryer tripped the electrics. when I opened it there was a strong smell of [electrical?] burning so I turned off the plug and left the consumer unit switch off (it's on a separate circuit in the garage). when I tested this morning it seemed to be working...

Hello, Looking for some advice please. I was away for a few weeks, my family came to stay a couple of weeks in and found the ground floor electrics had gone out. RCD had tripped with all downstairs electrics. The only items I’d left plugged in and on were smart meter, fridge and boiler...

Hi, I have two 5amp sockets which are to be used for side lights and controlled by a dimmer on the wall in my living room. I have never used these sockets and bought two lamps and changed these to suitable plugs. On using it trips circuit. I was convinced that it was the lamps. Then I...

So we've had our electricity tripping randomly.. We have an old fuse board so all the circuits are on a single rcd, so fault finding has been tricky. We got home today to a burning smell from the area, called an emergency electrician who found the tails going into the meter had come lose, he...

Hi, We had a new extension build 1.5 years ago and this is where the problem is so new cables etc. We first had the RCD tripping with the light circuits downstairs but then it went away and never happened again. 2-3 months ago we had the RCD trip with the downstairs sockets. I isolated the...

Hi all, Want to know what sort of IR readings I should be expecting between the case and the various elements (with the elements disconnected of course) of my Electrolux Steam fan oven as in recent times it has been tripping the RCD. :rolleyes::( I have had it switched off at the local...

Hi all, I have recently fitted a honeywell G4 system and it keeps tripping reporting zone 4 and sometimes zone 4 and 5. BUT both these zones are terminated with no sensors. The alarm sets fine but then sounds an hour later for no apparent reason. Could the panel be faulty fresh out of the...

Any advice would be most welcome, I have a Crabtree 80A RCCB 30mA trip. It's the original unit in my house that was built in 1988. There has always been an element of nuisance trips mixed in with the genuine stuff (stuff I could account for). Recently it has started to trip more frequently, and...

Hello Lamona integral oven, 2.4 kw wired up to a 13amp plug. The oven is at least two years old (it was here when we moved in), and the element has played up a couple of times (not heating properly once or twice), and the red LED light that indicates it's on often comes on overnight when...

Hi I know there are loads of threads on tripping but I couldnt find one that seems to fit my problem. Also im not an electrician so apologies in advance. I have an oven that was fitted brand new as part of a new kitchen which is causing an intermittent (once a day) trip on the main house RCD...

For the past few weeks, we have had one of two socket circuits tripping about once a day, including at night and day, in all weathers. The wiring is by no means new, but the consumer unit was installed only 2 years ago and the wiring fully checked. There are a few clear indications of 'DIY'...

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has any idea whats going on in my new (old) home. Basically I was using an angle grinder tonight and the main power for all the sockets, cooker etc went off and I thought that maybe just tripped or a fault with the grinder. Anyway went to check the CU and nothing...
