Try switching all the circuit breakers off beside the rcd then turn the rcd on then one by one turn the circuit breakers back on and it should narrow it down for you to a specific circuit. If it a Neutral to earth fault this would prove nothing. Where did i say anything about a neutral to earth fault? Iam trying to help the OP to narrow down what the fault could be and the simpilist thing to start with is what i said. As i said it will prove nothing as its not a live fault

How compentent to you feel at opening up a fuse board before i recommend what i was going too? Unless you know what you are doing DONT ! even with the mains board switched off there will still be live wires inside unless you can completely isolate the boardAgain this is why i asked how compotent he felt, so why the need for the red writing. I use red to highlight my replies in quotes and to highlight anything dangerous :eek:

As above....

"As i said it will prove nothing as its not a live fault"

How can you say its not a live fault without testing?



"I use red to highlight my replies in quotes and to highlight anything dangerous"

So what did i say that was dangerous?
