[QUOTE="Wah007, post: 438110, member: 28517"] Hello Experts, I was wondering if I could get some help on a strange issue I have with my electrics, For the last 2 months my RCCB switch on the consumer unit has been tripping. Sometimes it trips a few times in one day and sometimes it will go 10 or 20 days without tripping. I can check this as my internet router has an uptime where it resets to zero when the electricity turns off. My next door house has just been sold and the new owner is having the house refurbished (new walls, floor, ceiling etc). I've noticed that when the builders use their power tools next door that's when our RCCB trips. It doesn't happen every time they use them which is odd. Their's doesn't trip as I can hear their tools still running. Most of the time our light bulbs dim for a split second when they start to use their power tools. My consumer unit is a Crabtree Starbreaker and it's 11 years old. Any ideas? Thanks [/QUOTE]
