Shame the OP didn't update the thread when he dropped in last night .............
Naaaaaaamaybe he has shorted out the live/neutral whilst live, using his fingers as a probe tester?
No. Both fused spurs (Saniflow and toilet floor heating) switched off.Anything plugged in or connected via a fused spur?
No. Both fused spurs (Saniflow and toilet floor heating) switched off.
I have installed a new ring main in a kitchen extension and tested for continuity and insulation resistance before connecting to Consumer Unit. As soon as main switch turned on, even with all the MCB's switched off, the RCD tripped. I removed all the connections to the consumer unit from the new ring and the rest of the circuits were fine
am I missing some thing or you!No. Both fused spurs (Saniflow and toilet floor heating) switched off.
I have retested the circuit. The results for continuity are r1 0.70 Ohms, rn0.7 Ohms and r2 1.13Ohms. So far so good!What do you plan to do next?
Tell us and we'll give you some pointers......
