That explains my query. Thanks I served an electrical apprenticeship when I left school about 15 years ago and I did qualify :rotfl: Needless to say I am no longer an electrician.

I pulled a cable from a dual switch and swapped it with a 3 way. There was already a live in there. So that is why I have a switched live.

I will take your advice and use a fuse spur, I assume that I can still run the load live through the switch though, so I don't need a switched fuse spur, I can still switch with the 3 gang? (Constructive advice appreciated)

I think you should post a copy of this thread to anyone whos house or business you worked on 15 years ago :rotfl:

OP
Don't want to rain on your parade, but if you don't know why this is tripping the RCD you shouldn't be doing this level of electrical work

You, in my opinion, don't have the required level of skill and knowlege to carry this task out

Sorry to be harsh, but my 1st year apprentice knows this answer, and he's 3-4 years away from qualifying
