So I put the boiler on a non rcd circuit and the rcd still tripped when the boiler was put on anything above 3. I'm guessing one of the pipes is causing the wiring to heat up and trip, now it's just a case of finding it! The sockets are on a ring circuit, is there anyway to isolate one...

I didn't think to ask to have a circuit for the boiler only, that is the last thing to rule out electrically, if that trips then it has to be the boiler. Feels like I've been chasing my own tail the last few weeks trying to find the issue!

Thanks, I will get an electrician to come and try this as it is way out of my expertise to try.

So would I need to put a separate rcd circuit in, with nothing else apart from the boiler to rule out there being a problem with the electrics?

Sorry I meant there is one RCd switch, this has 3 circuits. The sockets, cooker and shower. I put the boiler on the cooker circuit and used an extension lead to supply the boiler and it had the same result. I also isolated all other circuits on the rcd whilst I tested it. the circuit...

I do not have a socket on the cooker circuit, I will ask the electrician to put one on to test

I only have one RCD circuit, the only unprotected circuits is the cooker and electric shower, I will ask the electrician to check it on that. But if the boiler is tested on an unprotected circuit what would trip if there is an issue with it?

The boiler is currently on the same circuit as all of the other sockets. The only issue with moving it to a non rcd circuit would be the disruption to the walls to chase in the wiring. I will ask them to do the tests as you said above.

I unplugged every appliance and then turned the boiler on and it tripped again. This time the RCD would not reset until I switched the fuse spur on the boiler off, once it turned back on I turned the power on to the boiler (did not turn the heating on) and it RCD tripped again. I waited 5...

Long time reader, first time poster.. I have been having some issues with my RCD circuit / boiler. I have a Worcester 24i Junior Combi Boiler installed and when I have it set to 3 on the boiler there are no issues, but when I change it to anything above it trips the RCD. I called an...
