KITCHEN SOCKETS tripping RCD

[dpm_dpmartin]

There is obviously a fault on that socket circuit.
A picture of the rest of the consumer unit would be helpful.
Is there an extractor unit above the hob ?

There is an extractor hood, yes - and I didn't buy it or fit it - but I asked them about it and it is not even remotely new. I know that when their tenancy started 3 years ago - this was actually an over-hob light fitting. I may have a closer look at this, I don't think I saw a socket for it.

I will grab another picture of the whole consumer unit too, and come back.

Anything else electric that you overlooked ?

Outside socket? Outside Fairy lights? Pond pump? Extension lead? Shed?

If the RCD can reset with kitchen sockets MCB switched off and outside lights MCB switch on ,then the outside lights isn't the cause of the RCD tripping.

What about cumulative leakage or higher current flow?

Still isn't the cause ,a contributing factor maybe.
