[QUOTE="RussellR, post: 75186, member: 5189"] Had a similiar situation the RCD went at the slightest thing, and would only reset with the breakers off, isolated by switching various breakers in and out and trying to reset, found that everything was fine until the Kitchen ring was added, in the end found the problem was a faulty kettle. My explination which may or may not be right, was that the kettle combined with items on the other circuits using a functional earth were enough to cause the RCD to trip on in rush, but where right on the edge when brought in bit by bit. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
