Thanks for the help so far. Here are some pics of the CU: The left hand side of the RCD is protected.

No. I'm 99% sure my RCD trip is caused by an external power cut, albeit, very briefly. We have friends in the village (half a mile down the hill) who have the same problem at (certainly some, possibly all) the same times. So (and this is where my lack of knowledge shows), I'm wondering if...
