[QUOTE="binky, post: 552907, member: 490"] I would RCBO everything, at the moment you get 30mA of 'leakage' to earth before the RCD trips, with RCBOs you get 30mA per circuit, which is a lot more reliable and what I have in my own house. Modern appliances have lots of circuit boards and sensitive electronics in them, to protect these, they usually throw a bit of leccy down the earth as part of 'smoothing circuits', so it doesn't take long to get upto 30mA with a trivial fault, like an appliance just getting old.
