Good morning,
On a current job I have an outdoor lighting system with a fault that is 240V. Problem is that it keeps tripping the rcd. It turns on for around 10 seconds and then trips. There is nothing wrong with the rcd.
How do I locate the ground fault easily using my multifunction tester?
I have opened all the junction boxes, dried with a heat gun and left open whilst I try to get the system working. Some connections were wet, and have started to go that brown rusty colour etc, but as long as they’re dry and isolated they should work shouldn’t they?
Is there a way to tell where the ground fault is occurring? Without dismantling the entire circuit?
Thanks,
Barns
