[QUOTE="Marc1973, post: 493759, member: 32479"] Evening all i have a shed which has a power feed into a small consumer unit with two MCBs and one RCD. I needed to disconnect the sockets leaving the first socket in place so flicked the MCBs and " inadvertently" the RCD also. I disconnected the sockets that were fed as a spur off the first, leaving the first in place, and connected back up. Now the RCD will not reset i.e return to top position, leaving no power to lights or socket. I have turned all the power off and it will still not reset. I tried putting all the sockets back on I.e. same as original but still no joy. Is this a faulty RCD or am I missing something here? Does a RCD need power to reset i.e. Could the problem be back at source from the main consumer unit? Any thoughts gratefully received. Cheers [/QUOTE]
