[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 513756, member: 28452"] RCD plugs are a waste of money if used on an already rcd protected circuit. They are meant for use where fixed protection is absent or unknown. It's just luck which will trip first, but often the fixed rcd will already have other loads connected which increases the chances of the fixed one going first. If you experienced simultaneous tripping of a plug in one and its fixed counterpart there is some chance that indicates a dodgy appliance, but nothing is guaranteed. [/QUOTE]
