Bathroom fan blows RCD switch

paulfoel · 2007-09-11T14:54:51+00:00

When you turn it on using the pull switch the RCD switch (for upstairslights) trips on the consumer unit.I've changed both the fan and the actual pull switch but still thesame...I've even disconnected the fan and the switch itself sets it off....Any ideas ???Basically, the switch has got a terminal for N (so I attach both blackwires to this), and a live 1 and live 2 (to which I attach one each ofthe red wires).

It was a good question really. As a quick confidence check, the test you described is not bad, you just need to be aware of the limitations.
