Hi
There's a workshop outside the main building with a couple of sockets protected by a 30ma rcd. Even though the rcd inside the main fuse box is 100ma the 100 ma rcd trips without the 30ma not tripping. Changed 30ma rcd still same. How can I get the rcd in the workshop to trip without tripping...

Hi Everyone,

Hi Folks;
Installed a cooker (oven only) in a property on 6mm T+E, tests fine, but RCD keeps tripping out when connected.
If I connect on RCD1 side it’s fine but if it is moved to RCD2 side it trips out constantly.
Any thoughts are appreciated? Thank you.
I got called out to house a few days ago with the main rcd tripping when they turned the hot tap on with the combi firing up.They had only just had the new boiler fitted and the tripping had started straight after it was installed.
I IR'd the boiler circuit(which was wired on its own 16amp...
I have a very strange repeated RCD tripping scenario, which appears to suggest that two unrelated circuits are connected. Any problem solving thoughts would be appreciated.
