Tripping!!!!!!!!!!

The main power supply is tripping as soon as the boiler is turned on. would anyone have any idea why?

Comments

  • most likley cause in my experience is a neutral earth low impedence short if its tripping the rcd, best to call a registered electrician,
    check out either the guild of mastercrafts man , or the niceic ,both have sites to search your area.
    failing that try a boiler repair company/indivuail who does boiler wiring as well as gas works.

    thanks. is it a major work
  • no shouldnt be, if circulating pump is u/s then expect to pay around 130-150 inc vat, if circuit board on boiler u/s, price varies so much between manufactors so its diffult to give a cost.
    check firstly though if there are no obvious signs of a small water leak at the pump and valve etc which will cause the rcd to trip.
