[QUOTE="binky, post: 513840, member: 490"] raandom tripping is usually a fridge or freezer, they are the only appliances that switch on and off all day and night at random times. However, they might not be the root cause, just the final bit of earth leakage that finally trips the RCD. Get a sparky to test the circuit to prove the cct is good or not, then you will have an idea if it is an appliance. It might also be worth changing a single RCD covering multiple ccts to RCBOs, ie a combined RCD / MCB as this gives you 25-30mA per cct and is far less prone to appliance issues. [/QUOTE]
