Hi there,
My rangemaster all electric cooker keeps tripping the RCD.
I have a 17th edition setup (split load consumer box, both under 30ma RCD's).
I have had the cooker bypassed as a tempory measure to dry out the damp (been in storage for some time),
I want to put the cooker on its own RCBO/RCB, but not sure how i would connect it (this will hopefully cure its tripping and stop everything else being tripped on that side of the consumer box).
Could you please help me with this?
Many thanks,
Stuart
 
The fact that it keeps tripping the RCD is because there is a fault, an electrical fault to be precise.

I'd let it dry out properly before using it again, if keeps tripping, a manufactures call-out is in order, in my opinion.

Putting a cooker on its own RCBO is never a bad idea, as is running the cable in steel conduit to remove the need to RCD protect (make sure there is no socket outlet on your cooker switch)
But, with a new appliance, you shouldn't really need to.
