    RCD Tripping - Advice Needed

    RCD Tripping - Advice Needed

    Ok thanks for all your replies. @Murdoch I'll have a look at the paperwork tomorrow, all I remember however is them saying something about our house wiring was tripping because of a "shared neutral" ? I'm not sure if that's the reason the MCB is there.
