JohnD You're the only person on here, who talks sense. I'll get documentation out and post next week. The oven was totally disconnected from the supply cable - I saw bare cable ends at both CU and fused outlet - so the problem has to be in the cable itself. I'm still on the mouse/rat theory...

All this technical stuff may be very interesting to specialists, but it doesn't help me; and it doesn't answer my original question. Is this acceptable / safe? You sound like it's a game to come up with the most complex piece of technospeak. As a reminder, take a look at the name of this website...

He said he'd done an insulation test, and it had "passed". Got all the doc bumf, and notification duly done, etc. I'm happy with all the above, just a bit concerned about the tripping / non tripping. Does this mean that I'm wasting electricity? Or is there a potential fire hazard?

I've just had a new split load CU fitted. Never had RCD protection before. When the spark (Part P regd) connected the oven circuit, it tripped the RCD. This is a single 2.5mm cable from the CU to an under oven (not hob), not part of any ring etc. I know, I installed it myself about 15 years ago...
