    UK RCD issue baffling me

    So am I right in saying when I use a socket for a kettle the current is going from the mains through the LH RCD to the MCB to the kettle and the return current is then going down the neutral back through the LH RCD (all ok at this point) up to the neutral bar where the RH RCD neutral is also...

    UK RCD issue baffling me

    Ok so I should disconnect the neutrals from the RH side one neutral bar by one and see which one once removed doesnt trip the RCD? This should indicate which circuit the fault lies in? Then I guess just investigate the circuit and see if it's wired correctly?

    UK RCD issue baffling me

    I still don't understand how a LH bank of fully normal and fully operational set of 6 ring mains trip the opposite sides RCD when they draw current. Surely the neutral current goes back to the neutral bar then back to the mains. It never passes through the other RCD.

    UK RCD issue baffling me

    I have a dual board consumer unit. Both sides have a RCD. The left hand side of the board has all the MCBs for all the 6 ring mains for the property. The right side of the board has the lighting and hob and cooker for the house. Whenever a current is drawn from a socket the right side RCD...
