    No, I told my dad to get an electrician out but he's got someone coming to change the RCBO's rather than troubleshoot the root of the...

    My thoughts too, we can only see

    The boiler is on that left bank of circuits, but I don't know whether its wired directly into that RCD (or if you can even do that)

    This issue is has been happening at my Dads house and he's decided to go straight for RCBO's before diagnosing what the problem actually...

    This was also my problem, which is why I went all RCBO. But, using an emergency torch can remove the problem of lights failing if...

    Don’t believe the labels on CU’s either

    Probably. BUT you need testing first Most competent decent sparks changed to fitting RCBO boards about 10 years ago

    The domestic distribution board can be type tested, which means under 125 amps total, single phase, and all within the board has been...

    This is what is happening - left side is tripping. Is there a case to replace this CU entirely with RCBOs?

    Sometimes a fault on the wiring does not trip an rcd till something with a high load is used like a washing machine, so do not assume...

    Sounds like a textbook example of a neutral to earth fault. Any substantial load on the same RCD causes a voltage drop on the neutral...

    My money is on accumulated leakage plus possibly a fault First thing to do is get a competent spark to check for earth leakage and test...

    Thanks, I also think its accumulated leakage and the washing machine is a red herring. I will get an electrician round to check rather...
