I thought the MCB was tripping as well as the RCD?

 

[telectrix]

think he said the RCD tripped when he reset 1 of the MCBs.

Yup, but a knackered MCB could trip the RCD.

 

[telectrix]

true, ot he could be switching MCB on with all that IT etc. starting up at once.

As a solution I'd run in a new dedicated circuit for the offices with a clean earth. Should sort out any issues and get them PCs back up and running

A 'Clean Earth' is mainly to prevent noise issues, rather than to prevent tripping due to high leakage. Daz
