[QUOTE="Murdoch, post: 499838, member: 24445"] noting what’s being switched on or off could send you down a blind alley you need to make notes and see if there is any pattern. does it happen at night? when your house is empty? when the eg washing machine is on? when the heating is on? when it’s raining? From what you’ve said there are many sockets on the circuit so using an earth leakage clamp meter AND ramp testing your RCD is a MUST my advice to you is find a local spark through recommendation, check they have an earth leakage clamp meter as well the test kit and knowledge to check your rcd. That shouldn’t cost much and IR testing should be done too hope this helps [/QUOTE]
