NEW SOCKET CIRCIUT TRIPPING THE RCD

[supersparks]

im tempted to say, leave and call somone in to sort it because you dont know enough, but ill give the benifit of the doubt here,

changing the rcd for an rcbo wont do diddly,
what you need to do is remove the rcd for the sockets(put it on the non rcd side of the consumer unit in your CU) or provide a seperate circuit for the conputers on the non rcd side of your CU- assuming there is one.

your downstairs sockets that you (or anyone else) may use to supply equipment outdoors MUST be on the rcd, computers should not for this very reason.

since u dont ahve a TT supply, you dont need to RCD protect everything. you should connect the ring to a 32A MCB on the non-RCD side. put a few sockets near exits which could have an extension plugged in and taken outside on the RCD side

I have a tn-s system power supply. so with the socket problem being an earth fault woul it be best to replace the RCD with an RCBO?

RCBO, in simple words, is a combination of circuit breaker and an RCD, you have both in one unit. If you have earth fault the RCD part of the RCBO will trip.
