[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 490474, member: 28452"] Don't be too pessimistic. From what I'm reading I suspect you have an earth leakage fault somewhere. Probably neutral to earth. It could be water in an outside light, deteriorating element in any heating device, or many other faults, or a combination of two or more, but NOT difficult to detect with test gear, and not too difficult to trace by a skilled electrician. The variability you observe is most likely load dependant, rather than a manifestation of Sod's Law. For instance your UF heating WILL draw more current when it's cold, but that could be a complete red herring if the fault is elsewhere, such in your cooker, immersion heater, etc, etc. [/QUOTE]
