Hi,
This is my first post to a site like this so I hope I'm doing it right!
I have a problem with my Neff oven tripping out the main RCD breaker.
This happens frequently, usually when the oven is heating up or reaching temperature.
It does not trip out the 32A breaker on the cooker circuit but the main breaker, so we are often plunged into darkness!
Its a relatively new house with generally sound electrics and I have checked all of the cooker wiring and found it to be in good condition with tight connections.
I've read this post with interest:

but I think I have a different type of consumer unit and I don't think I have the option of moving the cooker circuit off of the RCD.
My consumer unit is a 8 way Wylex NSES806 with a 100A 30mA RCD and all slots are occupied.
It looks much like this one:

I would really appreciate any advice or potential solutions that any of you can offer.
(By the way I am an engineer and very competant DIYer so I don't mind a bit of technical investigation or replacement of parts if need be.)
Thanks.
