Hello - I've just registered with this forum to see if anyone has any ideas about what could be going on with the electrics in our place
We have two RCDs, one in the main house and another seperate one for the conservatory that services the garage and the garden. For a while, the ring main in the conservatory has on occasion been known to make the RCD in the house trip but it has always been a random isolated incident. Since last week however, the RCD in the house is now tripping at random times. We isolated the ring main in the conservatory, and put a new ring main breaker in the rcd for the house up from 32 to 40 amp thinking it could be due to overload - after all, the ring main in the house is carrying all the sockets.
Now, the RCD in the house keeps tripping, seemingly randomly but I have noticed it tends to go at times when the boiler is firing up for the first time, morning and evening. However, it could just as easily go when you're turning over the tv or pluging things in or taking them out.
As it doesn't seem to be any one particular gadget or socket that's causing the problem we're stumped. Does anyone have any idea about what might be going on?
