I have a situation where the RCD is tripping. I have only 3 circuits on a split load board. One side has the lights and the other side has the socket radial (3 sockets) and a door entry supply.
l plugged the hoover in today and wiggled the plug in the socket as the socket is intermittent (i know this is only the socket intermittent and not the supply to the socket) and this tripped the rcd, only it tripped the rcd on the other side of the split load board on not the rcd that it should have. I understand that the socket it the cause of the fault but why has it tripped the other rcd? I have checked for crossed neutrals and all seem correct. I also did an rcd test and these where all fine and tripped the correct rcd. Any ideas?
Thanks
