    RCD tripping... What other problem determination can I do?

    Unfortunately my electrician is too busy installing EVs so I've kinda been left on my own for now! I have an issue where the RCD labelled #1 in the attached picture trips as soon as I attempt to turn the immersion heater on. I've had the immersion heater replaced (well, I couldn't get it out...

    Using armouring as earth and RCD protection

    Hi, If an SY cable is used to supply a consumer unit, and there isn't a guaranteed depth of 50mm for the wall it is in, would using the braiding as the earth negate the meed for RCD protection of that cable? Thanks

    Nuisance tripping - faulty RCD?

    Had a real headache of a fault finding job which has left me scratching my head - RCCB on a split load board, supplying 3 circuits (shower, immersion and downstairs lights) constantly tripping.
