[QUOTE="Robin Spark, post: 80948, member: 5444"] Just a thought, I solved a rcd tripping problem the other week where the rcd was going off intermittently. It turned out that the kettle which was the sort that you remove off the base which has power cord attached was faulty. The kettle was very slightly leaking a small bit of water into the base and then after a while it was getting inside the connector and causing the rcd to trip by a Line to earth fault. However, the rcd was tripping only once or twice a day and it was happening a long time after anybody had used the kettle. Just to note though, when I meggered the kettle the reading quickly increased from virtually nothing and kept on going up in value whilst I held down the test button. [/QUOTE]
