Discuss Curious fault in double socket in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

There are many faults which could be occurring...we need more information...Does the RCD trip during the dark? ... Do they keep pregnant horses,in the stable?

It could be a nightmare...

That wasn't lost on me Peg !!
 
You’ll have “neigh” chance of getting any sense out of this lot. Too busy “horsing” around.
In fact, I think they may be “unstable”

N-E fault... only shows up when using current. Has anybody worked on the db recently and maybe replaced the neutral in the wrong bar?
 
Saddled with this annoying fault I galloped round to the CU in the workshop and swished the tails. Someone had been horsing round in this CU and placed the neutral in the wrong paddock thereby unbalancing the CU and throwing any rider off at the first hurdle. Fed the CU some Epsom salts and went to the Horse and Hounds to make hay while the sun shines.
