Evening
I've not posted for a while and have had to set up a new account as I can't find my old one.
Moving on I have a wiring conundrum.
Customer called said heating had died no lights on programmer. At the property the customer also asked if I could change the honeywell wiring centre (with pcb) as it was in pieces whilst there. Stupidly I did not check neutral to earth etc before starting apart from if there was a live to backplate with death stick. So changed programmer and just put in a honeywell junction box with no pcb. Turned spur on and boom - breaker goes out.
After much effort of checking disconnecting etc I couldn't get the breaker to stay on. Fuse board was breaking on mcb and had two rcds. In the end I had a new fused spur wired into brand new programmer only (literally nothing else) this time when I put the spur on the breaker broke again. I then checked the programmer on a fly lead from bedroom sockets and it worked perfectly.
I Advised customer that a new wire from the board and fused spur is needed (retired spark- he agreed) meantime I wired heating back together and run off a fly lead from bedroom sockets and three pin plug fused to 3amp. Three port moved to hot water only to mid to heating only perfectly boiler pump all working..
Customer runs new cable and tests with socket tester which said fine then puts in fused spur. I go back to today. Remove fly lead and put into spur. Turn spur on and exactly the same problem. I wire back to fly lead/plug and all works fine again
Has anyone got any ideas. Thanks in advance
