Update on constant tripping of RCD


Hi all

Our caravan builder has found the problem. The old screw through the wiring  trick. 

Havent got it back yet but thankfully, right skills found the problem quickly. The RCD did its job. 

thanks again for your interest. 

 

Cheers Stuart and Dianne

Added. But quite a while ago. The problem had been intermittent, but I guess the movement when travelling made it a constant?

Just as an aside we put a new kitchen into the golf club a few years ago and put all the gas pipework in the walls, done a leak test and all was sealed..

Along came the sheetmetal workers and installed all the stainless required and then the friers and stoves went in...

come time to commission the installation and low and behold we had a leak...crycrycrycry

You guessed it the sheetmetal workers had put a screw through the gas line and the whole lot had to come back out so we could weld up the gas pipe.biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Bob, at least with gas leaks they probably don't go intermittent like electrical "leaks" can and do

just a real pain having to undo all that work to fix it.

Our TV arm had come loose so Stuart put a longer screw in!! It was some 8 months ago. He must have just split the wire or something and the travelling did the rest. Just thankful they found it. We pick it up tomorrow.

HI Dianne

It is just as well you did have a RCD

That live screw could with someone having a serious accident.

It would not be the first time that a screw,  staple, or nail has penetrated  van wiring

 Reminds me of the time we installed a new hydraulic system in a ship being built. We had welded a piece of angle across the face of the tank for the sparkies to attach a cable tray for their wiring.

Came back to fill and commission the system, and the bl**dy sparkies had fitted their cable tray direct to the tank, and used hollow pop rivets to hold it on. Not a brain amongst them.

I had similar when the builders decided to cut a beam to make some alterations and cut through the coms cable to the production rooms further down the buildings.

L overly job splicing them all back together. Lost a days production as well, as we were not allowed to work without the computer system recording each event live.

Regards
