rcd tripping

Hi if anyone can provide some advice please I would be grateful. Over the last 4 or 5 days when we had the heavy snow in London my electrics kept tripping. It has been difficult to find the culprit as the tripping is random sometimes lasting 6 or 7 hours between trips. My first thought was the...

Hello. I'm new to this forum and I've recently been doing a bit of work on holiday home in Ireland and have converted an attic space. The problem is I have installed a ring circuit back to existing DB which had a spare way and 30A mcb but when I juice up the new circuit and plug anything in the...

Hi all, Want to know what sort of IR readings I should be expecting between the case and the various elements (with the elements disconnected of course) of my Electrolux Steam fan oven as in recent times it has been tripping the RCD. :rolleyes::( I have had it switched off at the local...

Random tripping of the RCD started a month ago. Twice it has happened during the night. Sometimes it will not reset without turning off all the circuit breakers and turning them on one at a time after RCD is in the on position. A family of rats has been sighted in neighbours garden. I have...

During the latest bouts of strong wind and rain since January, the RCD trip switch in the fuse box keeps tripping. I have tried systematically turning off some of the meter switches to try and find which circuit is affected but as it only seems to trip twice about 15 minutes apart, this is...

Hi all I've got a CAME ZA4 PCB and CAME F1000 motors. Bit of a puzzler - our gates have started tripping the main RCD in the house (but never their own MCB in the garage), and I'm not familiar enough with the circuitry to work out why... Things I've discovered so far... With both gate motors...

Hi all, I hope you can help. I have plugged in a new NEFF 13amp plug in hob to a single socket underneath. It keeps tripping when i use 2 or more rings. using 1 is fine. I worked out that its going to a B6 Legrand RCD. Do i just need to get a higher rated one like a B16? And is it a simple as...

at the end of the garden, about 40m from the house, is a pond. In the pond is a 320W pump that pumps water up to the top of the garden (4m head) which then runs down a stream to the bottom pond again. From the CU at the house, the supply runs via a RCD through a buried armoured cable to a shed...

I've had electrical underfloor heating in the bathroom for 4 years and its been working perfectly. We went away for a couple of days and I set the Devireg touch to holiday mode so that it would come on when we got back. When we returned the RCD that supplies the underfloor heating (and the...

Hi I have a flat on two floors -- one in the basement. Over the last week the rcd has been tripping. It was intermittent at first and now the mcb in question won't come on without tripping the rcd. This coincides with some heavy rain. It's a circuit with sockets on it, all of the basement...

My bathroom lights keep tripping the rcd when I switch them on, not just the one circuit, but half the board! There are 5 led gu10 bulbs on the circuit, plus an extractor fan wired into the switched live and main live (for the timer). The extractor is not yet firmly screwed into the wall...
