Urgent electrical help needed

Dean / any other electricians?
I've just finished wiring up power to my workshop but have some strange
problems. All the sockets test OK with a little 3 lamp tester (tests for
shorts, simple earthing problems etc) and using a multimeter shows 240V.
However, connecting any kind of load (light bulb, dremmel etc) causes
the house RCD to trip (on a separate circuit - the workshop has it's own
earthing rod and RCD) and the voltage drops right down to 150V or so.
The Dremmel barely pulses on/off and a light bulb doesn't light.
Any ideas? Could it be an earthing problem? Or something else?
Help!
Paul
