What a morning, power was off in the shop.
The rcd was tripped and it wouldn't stay on. Fault somewhere in the shop wiring.
No phones, Internet of card machine until I found the problem.
Step one,
find out which electrical circuit is tripping the rcd.
Step two.
unplug everything in that circuit, to see if it's an appliance that is causing the fault. (everything unplugged, but rcd still trips)
Step three
check all the wires amd sockets that you can access. (no problems found, except a loose either wire)
Step four.
follow your nose, if it smells like something is dead close by, then that is your fault. follow the smell, find the fault.
One unluckily fat mouse couldn't fit through a hole, so he tried to chew through the wire blocking the hole.
And caused me to lose half a day's work when I'm already flat out.
