RCD TRIPS ON MOST CIRCUITS ON NEW SPLIT LOAD CONSUMER UNIT

KevCompton · 2006-03-14T10:36:58+00:00

Hi,I just installed a new MK Sentry K5686S Split load Consumer Unit and amhaving problems with most of the circuits attached to the RCD side ofthe consumer unit.I had four circuits attached to the RCD - Downstairs sockets, upstairssockets, garage sockets and the Shower. All of the circuits trip theRCD apart from the shower. I have temporarily moved these problemcircuits over to the non-rcd side and they are all working fine.I am suprised that I am having problems, especially with the garagecircuit, as this was only fitted a year ago.Any ideas on possible causes and how to resolve this problem greatlyappreciated.Thanks.

Are you *absolutely* sure both neutrals on the rings go to the correct neutral busbar? It would be unusual to have so many faults.
