RCD Tripping off - switch at fault
Comments

The Op did not disconnect the load from the fused unit-If the boiler and all its connected parts are disconnected and then when switching On a fused spur unit the RCD trips then the fault has to be before that point-Looks like you were right Matb but i dont know how?? When i refer to disconnect the load i do not mean "turn it off" but mean "take the wires out"OH THE JOYS OF BEING SELF-EMPLOYED!! Can Travel,Will Work For Free!0

just to clear it up a little, when I disconnected the spur I only disconnected the live and neutral wires so unsure if leaving the earth connected was enough to trip the RCD.
And sorry it was not the circulating pump (I was in a hurry when I wrote last post )but the motorised valve that was causing the fault.
Thanks to all who provided input.0 -
