    Led downlights tripping RCD

    Hi all, Just powered up 6 new led downlights and RCD is tripping. All wiring disconnected and checked, no faults? Tried light on a separate supply and still trips RCD...very strange. Is the led (integrated but 240v) causing a surge and/ or a lag?

    Infrared heater tripping RCD on high setting

    I’ve just installed an infrared heater for my conservatory. It’s plugged into a socket. The heater is happily running on the second heat setting (1600W) but when I turn it up to the high setting (2400W) after a while it trips the breaker. Any suggestions on how to solve this please?

    Stoves range cooker tripping RCD

    Model 444440196 I think, Gas and electric. It fails when I turn the lower oven on in any capacity except just fan (fan without heating in any way).
