hi, i have strange fault on my cu, it is in a house i just moved into too which was built in 2000. there is a split load cu with rcd on the one side containing the two ring main circuits. the fault occurs when i put the toaster on in the kitchen sockets , it trips out both circuits on the rcd. i have made some checks and it looks like there is a fault only on the one circuit the kitchen ring main. what i have realise is if you put a light electrical load on the circuit i.e. a lamp then it will not trip but once you use something that uses a lot of power i.e. microwave it trips straight away. i have checked for loose connections / faulty mcb . do you have any ideas on what could be causing this problem?
