[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 499303, member: 250"] The Op suggests that the trip occurs without any elements being turned on? Just the clock! Also it appears to be a single RCD protecting the whole house... It could be a small amount of natural leakage through the cooker... combining with some existing leakage on other house circuits.. Causing sufficient to trip the RCD...? :C OR it could be a poor IR between conductors in the supply circuit.. It would be interesting to know the IR test readings for the cable.. Trapped wiring in the back of the isolator switch box could cause the described symptoms... :C various possibilities... But back to basics I would still want to know the supply cable is all good and sound... I'd do full dead circuit tests whenever connecting new cooker or shower.. Just to eliminate any stupid call backs later. :popcorn [/QUOTE]
