[QUOTE="phil d, post: 482582, member: 27126"] He could have damaged the mat, what tests has he done to prove it's the stat, linked it out and system runs? I had a lad ring me up after fitting an outside light, when you switched it on it took out the RCD, he'd swapped the fitting twice, it still tripped, he concluded it was the light because if you removed the lamp it didn't trip.It was a Crabtree Starbreaker board , what he'd actually done was taken the live off the downstairs lighting MCB, but the neutral bar was full, so there was another one at the other side with only a couple of wires in, he'd stuck it in there. The problem was that 'there' happened to be on the non RCD side of the board, hence the tripping, it was a lesson learned for him, lol [/QUOTE]
