So my old mans garage has various fluorescent fittings (inc a few he got secondhand from work during a renovation)
asked me to come have a quick look as the RCD was tripping when they switched on but not immediately
pulled various starters and tubes, ended up pulling all the starters and tubes, RCD held...but then tripped after about a minute or so...
Was out n about shopping with the mrs so didn't have my testing kit on me.
Going to go back later and IR test the lot to make sure of no damp ingress (which is possible given its a wooden garage) / insulation breakdown.
However could do with a referesher on testing the ballasts (as its been a while)
Cheers
