Trip Switch keeps tripping after getting Insulation

NickSantigo

I got insulation put into my house last Thursday (attic and gel beads in the cavity). However ever since the trip switch has been cutting out the sockets.

I tried turning off all the sockets this morning to find the problem but still couldn’t locate the problem. Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Any advice would be very much appreciated

when they were drilling the cavity walls they may have nicked a cable,
could be a coincidence though,so make sure immersion is switched off

If there are cables in the attic, they may have moved or stretched a cable, if there's a junction box on a circuit in the attic, there may be 2 cables touching, or similar, or someone stood on a cable and the insulation got damaged somehow.

You need to try and isolate which circuit is being affected, to reduce the area that has to be investigated.

Is it a MCB for a specific circuit that is tripping, or the protection breaker for a whole group of circuits, that may give a clue also.

Thanks for the replies. The problem seems to have sorted itself out before I was able to locate the source of the issue. It's been over a week now so fingers crossed the problem has solved itself
