Had a job to do today and as soon as I turned the red switch on the house mains tripped. This was on a 32 amp cooker circuit and then a 16 amp circuit. After a phone call to Stu at UK Machines he suggested disconnecting the water pump but still it tripped.
So looking like a sensitive rcd breaker we tried plugging it into next doors and it went fine. So it looks like we need a generator but the local hire shops didn't have any available but a phone call to Les at PFT Northern and he has 1 available. Saved by PFT Northern again!
on our way home we went to tomorrow's job to try it and it was fine?
so has anyone else suffered from sensitive rcd's? From now on we are going to take the machine before the day we need it and test the fuse box, this has cost me a days wages.
