the RCD has not tripped now for a couple of days, we have noticed today that the Microwave is not plugged in so will try this. I have put the 30ma trip on every plud without anything tripping it, so it seems that we have to wait for it to trip again. Have tried a 100w light bulb wired L and E...

The RCD is marked at 100ma I will unplug everything I can apart from the two freezers and fridge (obvious ) what I still dont understand is why it never trips in the daytime. I have ruled out condensation as I fitted a DP for all the outside power sources. At night we have the following still...

We isolated the outbuildings last night. and at 1.15am the RCD tripped with only 2 60w lights and a tv on standby, sky box on standby and dvd on standby. when I tried to reset it it would not reset, after 60 seconds it reset and has not tripped so far. !! Should I change thr RCD anyhow !!!

thanks for this but I dont have underfloor heating just a normal gas boiler Paul

Chaps I have now installed a DP to isolate the outbuilding and will switch this off tonight to see if the outbuilding is the problem. Your suggestions have been very helpfull and I have learnt a lot. Will keep you posted tommorrow Very best regards Paul

street lamps are still on when the mains trips we did catch a mouse last week we have a large outbuilding and I will check for condensation as it has been damp and rainy most evenings Paul * Can someone explain why the main switch trips and not the individual circuit breakers!!!!!!
