hi, i recently extended a ring circuit. it originally had 4 sockets, now it has 12, 7 on the circuit and 5 on spurs. all sockets work fine, however the RCD for all the circuits trips frequently when something is turned on/ plugged in to a socket anywhere in the house? please help!!

If it trips whenever current is drawn, it sounds like a neutral has not been connected to the correct neutral bar.

If its trips at random, you may have a neutral-earth short.
