    Watched your video Martin and followed your trouble shooting advise to successfully isolate why a ring main tripped out in my Kitchen area. Suspected the washing triggered my RCD protection switch. Had a bit of a think as to why the breaker kept tripping and searched UA-cam and found your channel very helpful. Now restored power without the need to callout an electrician. If it trips again I may have to do so but for now top advice, thank you!

    OMG thank you so much for posting this video! Our power went off and kept tripping too so I followed your instructions and it turned out my son had left his attic window open and rain has soaked his xbox and the extension lead. He’s not going to be pleased when he gets home from work!

    Thank you, this helped a great deal. It was the electric shower, I’m guessing it’s due to using a wall paper stripper/steamer in the bathroom that caused it. I’m not sure but will be calling an electrician tomorrow!!

    Been having issues with a socket in my bedroom causing the whole house to go dark but thankfully those I live with knew what to do so I, rather stupidly, never bothered to learn. I know where my mains box is but never had to do it myself before so this helped when I was alone at home. Thanks very much!

    I did all this and of course it keeps tripping. What can an electrician do apart from replace the entire lower floor socket system (this is what is tripping in my house)? How can the fault be diagnosed? Surely there are wires runnng in walls,, under floorboards where we have rats etc which can only be checked by taking the plaster off the walls, lifting the floorboards? It's a nightmare! Thumbs up to video

    We had a similar problem a few months back. Things tripped once in a while and could not find a fault anywhere. Called our neighbour and friend round to check things for us who is a fully qualified electrician.
    He checked absolutely everything including my workshop.
    Eventually, he went outside to our metre and found the fault, one of the cables was not even secured.
    He fixed the problem but asked us not to say anything as he could be fined for touching the metre.
    The company that installed the metre was NorthernPower.
    Not the first time I have heard about their shoddy workmanship.
    You don't even have to be a fully qualified electrician to fit these meters.
    They just go on a 2-day course and that's it, they are out the next day fitting them.

SO I WILL GET SOMEONE OUT TO LOOK AT THAT IN THE MORNING. I AM DISABLED AS WELL SO NEED THE ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT THAT IS USED VIA THE SOCKETS. ALL ARE BACK ON NOW.
    THANKS AGAIN. YOU EXPLAINED IT VERY EASILY TO UNDERSTAND. 10/10 TO YOU

    My friend called me about a faulty oven that would trip when set to high. After investigating the wires in the oven fused together burnt. He told me the lights go out when we turn it on. After checking the socket I realized his landlord connected a 13A socket to the lighting ring circuit and stuck an oven on it.

    Thanks for the logical path to isolate tripping faults. Ours tripped twice within an hour last night, never happened before, but been raining for almost a month solid, so suspect one of the outside lights. If it happens again, I'll follow the steps to try to find the culprit.
