Hi, I am new to the forum, and a DIYer. For a couple of weeks our cooker circuit has been tripping the RCD in the Breaker dedicated to this circuit at the CU. The cooker is a Falcon 90cm induction hob unit, it is installed with a fused dipole isolation switch. The tripping has always happened (so far) while there is no load from the cooker, which has no LED clock or timer. Tripping has not occurred while the cooker is in use. The wiring is within an internal (party) wall where there is no sign of damp.
I checked, and the tripping also occurred (overnight) while the cooker was isolated using its dipole switch.
The cooker is c.10 years old. The breaker / RCD is a Contactum B63 (lhs CPB63 and rhs CPR63) separated by a test button (picture included). It was installed at the same time as the cooker. The test button correctly activates the RCD when pressed.
Based on the above, I am assuming that there is a problem either in the Breaker/RCD, or in the wiring up to and including the dipole switch, and that the cooker itself is OK.
Have I missed anything obvious, or will this need a professional to troubleshoot it?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
