Discuss Plumber's reason for RCD tripping. in the Electrical Testing & PAT Testing Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Thanks for the replies. I've been paid up for the recent work. I'll be quoting for a new board but will be adding something regarding the nuisance tripping from the boiler (if the old 'new' pump is replaced back in). I'm assuming they will get a new new faultless pump and carry on with their fabricated pump scientology!
 
solution... put plumber's head in toilet bowl. flush toilet. the bog brush can then be inspected to ascertain which has the highest IQ.. the wet-pants or the toilet.
 
Where's the peace, love and goodwill to all men this morning guys ??
peace,love, and goodwill to all (except for plumbers, plasterers, wood butchers, building inspectors, architects, letting agents, awkward customers, and non payers).
 
Changing the board isn't only reinforcing the bull, but also costing the customer. Surely you just need to tell them the plumber is talking rubbish?! lol
 
The circuit breakers normally used are type "B" which will take a small surge before tripping, if your pump has a high switch on surge which trips a type "B", a type "C" which will take a higher surge is probably the answer in your consumer unit.

A domestic central heating circulating pump won't have a big enough surge to trip a B type.
