With central heating isolated, red does not trip
Going back to help diagnose faulty part and let him do the dirty work while I check the bits he pulls out
Ok, traced the fault to the central heating system, as I'm not gas safe reg, the clients plumber is coming out later this week so we can go through the boiler etc to find the exact part.
OK sorry, already been down that path and would naturally work from there so as to only introduce one possible fault, all becomes a bit pointless if you add many different poss faults at once.
Being a father has taught me to pick my battles. A lot of the work I do is call outs for a local...
Yes they're all going to be unplugged, that way I'll only introduce one potential difference at a time rather than leaving potentially loads of earth faults still available. I kind of know that, however after lunch and a few drinks we don't all necessarily put down the exact procedure we will...
Quick update
Customer went away this morning for a couple of days so haven't been able to get back. The problem started about 1 1/2 ago and seems to be getting steadily worse. In a strange way I'm thinking the getting worse should be helpful as should mean it will become easier to find. As I've...
But all ir tests come back >299
Has been working fine up until 2 weeks ago, no alterations, no changes not even a picture put up then suddenly starts to trip. So not a fault from when installed but something breaking down. Would have expected it to be the RCD getting sensitive but changed...
2 circuits, 1 rcd (split load), already knew the problem was on them. V sorry but no further on
All of the vacs trip his rcd, mines a Miele his is Dyson, I'm still keeping mine
Socket 1 L-N, L-E, N-E all >299
Socket 2 L-N, L-E, N-E all >299
"Global" L-N, L-E, N-E all >299
As with you, think it must have something to do with the inrush but struggling to work out what
Ok IR tests
So to sum up
Voltage 244V
IR tests >299 meg ohms for both circuits and against each other
Ramp test for RCD with both socket circuits and water heating circuits on 23mA
Ramp test for socket circuit 1 25mA
Ramp test for socket circuit 2 23mA
RCD standard 1/2-5x tests all...
Ok
No IR as yet as wanted to completely discount dyson before IR test but no other appliance inc washing m/c, dishwasher etc trips RCD. Dyson has now been run at mine with no issues apart from me pushing it around rather than my wife. Dyson is class 2 so can't leak
Hi
Just been called out to a Dyson tripping the RCD at a house. Dyson has just been brought back from the manufacturers with a clean bill of health. Board is a Memera 2000 split load with RCD covering house sockets and central heating. Have done a ramp test on the RCD with everything working...
