RCD Keeps tripping on new installation

If your lamp blowing takes out your home ECT and IV meds machines, it's inconvenient for the rest of us having to listen to your babble.

What lathes do you have in the kitchen?

Ken Dodd eat your heart out.

None. But I do have a concrete mixer in the kitchen.

Even where mains powered smoke alarms are fitted?

never said it was. But it's still a hazard - which is why buildings open to the public have emergency lights: To minimise that hazard.

A mains smoke alarm can have its own circuit and RCBO. It is desirable to do so.

You group all hazards into one group. That is why you are confused and why many installations are over engineered with greater cost.

Didn't think you'd recognise that BS ;-)

It is because I regularly do Risk Assessments that I know they all eventually end up as "Hazard".

To make the ultimate eccles cake??

The snooty uni man I am sure meant 30mA RCD. He got a lot right but muddled.

The FWB asked me to move it from the lounge.

FBW?

Lounge - is TV that bad?

I told my kids that when I was their age, we only had 3 TV channels and the neighbour had 2 (VHF TV). I said daytime TV was so bad that sometimes, if ill off school, I used to sit in the kitchen and watch the washing machine go round.

I like to give them a good laugh sometimes...

But my son has concluded that 1980's arcade games (on MAME) are better than anything he's seen that's modern.

YOU DO NOT KNOW THE MEANINGS OF "HAZARD". You are an arse coverer because to can't understand English that well.

Friend with benefits. Much better than a GF.

The mixer is usually rented out. It will not fit in the shed due to other stock.

It was 2 channels in the daytime. BBC2 started at (ISTR) around 5pm

Get him some Spectrum Adventure Games. Robin of Sherlock was my favourite.

Still can't beat Space Invaders.

Daytime TV? When I were a lad that was the test card. And more entertaining to watch than many of today's offerings.
