Toaster Tripping Circuit breaker

[AngelLaHash]

For some Strange reason we have three Circuits running in the Kitchen i think for two OLD Cookers and a Ring Circuit for the house.
Well the Toaster has Tripped the Two Radial Circuits and tried it in the House Ring and it tripped that.
I did wire up the sheds on its own Consumer unit and it doesnt trip .

To me it seems to suggest that the Toaster is the Final thing over loading Each Circuit breatk but because outside has Nothing running on it its happy!

What is tripping an mcb or rcbo.

 

[AngelLaHash]

MCB are tripping (cant do a short sweet message can you)

This points towards the toaster being faulty and there being a problem with tbe protective device(s) in the shed supply

Possibly a rogue currant.

The Last toaster tripped it . so Got a NEW one .. the New one is Tripping Too (when for cheap and nasty from Amazon!)
BUT it works on the Shed Circuit!

Can you post an image of the fusebox in your house?

Funny enough it was a Fruit Bun i was Trying to Toast the First time it Tripped so maybe
BUT i did pick off the Currents as i know they burn easy

Got to watch these currents, if enough of them are going to the wrong place, something will trip out.

Toasters are renowned for this...

I know this from personal experience...

However, I would be concerned about your shed circuit, as said above

You'll find current going up as voltage is raisin.

I've got me coat on already.

dam hard to take a phooto as its always dark under there and if i use the flash its just a Ball of white light

Plastic CU done before the Metal CU, was install before i did my Testing for NICEIC test also used when i did one for STROMA too

What's tripping? One of the devices with a yellow button?

If you have an inspection and testing qualification and are a NICEIC member then surely you can just get your tester out and test the toaster?

I wonder if the Garden has earth continuity ! ( stay safe .. plenty of Garden tools Double insulated these days )

That is what happened to me a few months ago.
Give it a good cleaning to remove all the crumbs and the burnt current shorting to earth.
