How unlucky is that,I love Saturday

[cliffed]

Told you last week about the faulty B&Q bollard light in my garden,any way replaced it,then the fun happened.
I’ve installed all the external lighting about 2 years ago,now it’s tripping the rcd.
All cabled in Swa,but not ducted,used 3core 2.5mm.
Fault on live to Earth from conservatory to bollard,it’s a funny one,live to earth on conductors all clear,on the live to Swa sheath there’s a fault.
So it looks like a damaged cable,what would you do.

Replace the cable and stop posting about it on forums for a start.........

swap the cores over. use the present L for cpc as it's fault to armour, then use what is now cpc conductor for L. don't forget to re-sleeve ends. next question for 10?

sometimes it's the simple solutions that overcome the hi-tech, by the book, scenarios. once had a brand new 3 core SWA buried and the L conductor suddenly failed open circuit. re-jigged using the black (was E) as L and relied on armour as cpc.

 

[cliffed]

Agree,but sometimes it don’t seem right does it,in this instance there’s no chance of renewing cable,without major works,have a good weekend

 

[telectrix]

it works, so why worry. time to panic is when the next conductor fails to E.

Its only whats expected of Tel to erase your dilemma with simplicity

Now the spoiler alert,a damaged cable remains in use

Thats for the E30 which I haven't driven in 3 months, I still need to pay for the Subaru as well and maybe another car if I give in to temptation.

I prefer Compare the Meercat as I get a free Oleg toy and 2 4 1 cinema tickets which is a decent saving per year. Wasted on you I bet......... ;o)))))

Yep I know its sh!te but us peasants have to survive somehow seeking out a living (I really need to find a job 18 months out was fun, but) next week I pay off the £70k on the mortgage that I had to take out for a business deal.
