RCD Problems on new split load consumer unit

[ban-all-sheds]

Mike_H, Can you tell us what the problem was, I have exactly the same consumer unit with exactly the same problem, thanks

Who installed it?

 

[Click-Sure]

Volex CU. Thats low... real low, almost as low as Marbo.

I always though Volex CU's were just Wylex ones, with a Volex sticker added to them?

Thanks Spark, that was exactly the problem. All working fine now. I've learned how to do it....easy when you know innit.

Thanks everybody for your help

BUT BUT BUT

You should NOT be installing a split load consumer unit now. It was OK in 2004 but now, if you swop the consumer unit, it should be installed to the current wiring regs


which for most domestic installs

means

dual RCDs or
RCBOs on all circuits. (there are some exceptions, I know).

TTC, I think MickkNipfler has left thanks to Spark123 in the wrong thread.
