[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 462924, member: 1408"] Yes I think that stays with all of us TBH. IN West Bromwich I believe. From what was finally disclosed it sounded like the metal stud verticals were NOT earthed / bonded ......a plasterboard screw pierced the live of a Twin / E thus making the studding live from day one ...... all that about the testing ...no one would have picked it up UNLESS they took the time to test between the L of the circuit and the HIDDEN screws in the plasterboard . I don't know about the RCD situation .....and yes ... it shouldn't have happened .........every time I see metal studding I think of this case and the family involved. [/QUOTE]
