Boiler power control tripping the RCD at the consumer unit

[Paul Cockhill]

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help. The boiler on/off switch keeps tripping the RCD on the consumer unit.

The RCD just tripped, it also controls all the ring circuit but I have managed to narrow it down to the on/off switch to the boiler.

I did change the 3 amp fuse and the boiler started for about 15 seconds and just tripped again. I have checked the connections on the switch and they all seem fine.

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Paul

House re-wire ?

Just pop down to your bank and arrange to remortgage your house.......should cover the initial call out at least!!

And a powerflush .

And a powerflush .

We all know a remortgage won't cover both the initial SALES call and the power flush!
