[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 461249, member: 1408"] It sounds like your supply cable is OK . Is it definitely an MCB that trips or is it an RCD . If its an MCB it sounds like a dead short . The consumer unit is full of water . The consumer unit has a dead mouse across the terminals . There is rodent damage somewhere ( Squirrel , mice or rats gnawing cables) Are you sure it is ANY of the MCBs that trip the circuit or just one in particular ... I'm thinking fluorescent fitting with a melted ballast in it . A light bulb with a short in it . Something faulty plugged in to a socket . Another thought is ...there was a dead short which has beggered up the 32A MCB . [/QUOTE]
