[QUOTE="NozSpark, post: 499818, member: 601"] I’ve had this kind of problem several times.... most of the time everything is fine when I get there and unfortunately, being so intermittent, those faults were impossible to find until they become permanent faults other times I’ve found a couple of low (but passable) IR readings on some circuits that have been impossible to break down (very old cottage without any loft and/or access)..... in the end I changed the consumer unit to one with RCBO’s so that any fault would only affect the circuit that it was on, they never tripped again that I know of... must have been cumulative leakage taking it over the RCD’s threshold [/QUOTE]
