Trying to find a fault
Hello I put in a new fuseboard and the ring circuit kept tripping- 2 circuits on rcd 16amp with one wire and ring with 32amp
Isolated each breaker to see which was making rcd trip turned out to be sockets
I checked continuity between each leg after unplugging everything and came cables came back clear
After powering up again and replugging
I isolated which was faulty (turned out to be the chest freezer) as I checked the wire was showing continuity
After 10 minutes or so it tripped again in kitchen, so unplugged fridge and it was working fine for a good 45 minutes
But when tried to turn on kettle in kitchen or any appliance it kept tripping straight away
Bearing in mind there’s only one circuit for the whole house was wondering if anyone come across this as my fault finding it’s as good still learning
Only one rcd tripping
No neutrals are sharing
Other rcd is just cooker and lights
Thank you Trying to find a fault
