    Newly installed Consumer Unit is tripping RCD's when hoover or kettle on

    I agree with trev. This is a classic case of someone attempting electricial installation work without the knowledge or test equipment to make sure it is done safely. The only way forward I can see is for you to get an experienced electrician round with the proper test gear to find the fault for...

    adding to a mcb

    Seeing as your taking a cable from the mcb anyway crimp one leg of the ring and extend the ring to the two sockets. Don't over think it, keep it simple

    The EDF guy was very good, spent a good while testing then put gauntlet gloves and a riot shield over his face before reinstating. The day after I had first seen it they had someone else, (head of electrical services I'd imagine ) test it and deem it fine to place back into service.all the...

    Am I missing something here

    That part I don't get, is surely if I've meggered from the cu live and neutral. Live to earth etc that proves that there is no fault with the swa as the insolation resistance is fine, but the fuse is still blowing
