Only the circuit under test loses power. ### Symptoms and the consumer unit The visit starts with what you have seen: when the tripping began, which sockets or lights went dead, and any burning smell or scorch marks. The consumer unit, the box that houses the breakers and safety switches, is opened and checked first, so clear space around it helps. ### Circuit tests with a meter The suspect circuit is switched off so the test meter can measure continuity, insulation resistance and polarity. These readings show whether a cable is damaged or a connection is loose. With power restored, earth fault loop readings confirm the breaker would trip fast enough in a fault. ### Narrowing down the fault Testing points the problem to a fitting, a joint or a stretch of cable. Sockets and switches on the circuit are opened and checked for loose terminals, heat damage or worn parts, until the exact cause is found. ### Repair or a safe position Small faults, such as a loose connection or a failed accessory, are repaired during the visit where the parts are on the van. Where the fix needs new cable or more work, the faulty section is isolated so the rest of the property keeps power, and a written quote sets out the repair. ## Fault finding questions in Burton upon Trent ### Do you carry out electrical fault finding in Burton upon Trent?
