Some advice please. We have a persistent problem where the cooker circuit RCD trips consistently in the Consumer Unit. The trigger is when anything on the new cooker is switched on - even just an oven light. No other circuits in the house seem to have this problem and it occurs when absolutely everything else is turned off.
We are on the second cooker of the same make and model. Two different electricians have been in to attempt an install with the same problem. Neither could find a problem with the cooker circuit, having 'Megger' tested the wires, but pointed in the direction of a faulty appliance.
A specialist in the appliance tested the second one in place and could find no fault with the appliance itself, although he could not cure the RCD tripping problem. Naturally he disagreed with the electricans and blames the electrical circuit.
I am after a way forward please as it is foxing better brains than mine! And costing me a small fortune.
My thanks in advance.
