KITCHEN SOCKETS tripping RCD

[blup]

If the extractor was added it may not be on the cooker circuit.

I am puzzled by this.

What do you mean by "the MCB goes to off"?

It's my lack of expertise here... I guess I mean, when I get everything ready to try and test and flip the KITCHEN SOCKETS MCB, I do, the RCD trips and the MCB is down?

I didn't mean to puzzle anyone... just trying to describe my experiences probably using inaccurate language.

If the extractor was added it may not be on the cooker circuit.

It used to be an extractor, controlled by an above counter switch, back in 2017, then it was removed and an over-hob light was fitted, then that was removed and a new extractor was put in... I think it's a fair bet it's on KITCHEN SOCKETS... and, right now, it doesn't work as KITCHEN SOCKETS won't go up.

If it was on another circuit I'd presume it would work. Can't be certain of that, of course.

Don`t worry about that, most people do that and it is almost always never intentionally

No problem.

I still don't know what that means.

You are still causing some confusion - better to use the words 'on', 'off', and 'trip'.

I think he means that the only way he can get the RCD to reset is by switching the MCB off and it trips the RCD again if he switches it back on
