I\\\'ve just run a new ring main for my kitchen, there are nine double 13amp sockets,when i made it live it was all ok and didnt trip out, but the second i plug ANYthing in it trips. Is due to a short or the MCB is to small in amps??
It is the RCD that trips, i've disconnected every thing, and started again from start, adding on socket at a time, but no change . so i connect the ring to a socket that i know is fine ((in another room via a extension,so i could see if there was a problem with wiring i had ran) and everything works fine, the second i reconnect to the MCB the RCD trips when i switch a device on. I have checked and double check the cables are to the right terminals, and that there is no shorts, it trips even when i created a radial with one socket on the end. thanx for all the help.breezer said:is it the rcd that trips?
