Been trying to track down the cause of one of my RCDs tripping, I've pretty much worked out which combinations of devices can cause it to trip - big contributors washing machine, hob, microwave, underfloor heating and the server/routers combo in my understairs cupboard - I can get it into a stable state and power up one more thing and *pop* there it goes again. Can't tell what the fridge freezer is contributing as its not easy to make it do what you want.
Now its possible that one of those is contributing 90% of any leakage or they could all be doing a bit - thing is, everything was fine until a couple of weeks ago, no trips at all since the CU was changed about 14 months ago.
Realistically how likely is it that the RCD could be at fault? The impression I have is that they are pretty reliable?
Almost tempted to spend some cash on that earth leakage clamp meter someone linked the other day to see whats really going on.
