Hey guys!
I have a RCD protecting the sockets in a 2-bed flat, everything else is unprotected. Every now and then it will trip when we switch the (unprotected) lights off (any lights, coming from 2 different MCBs). It often happens in the early morning between 6 and 830am and we will use the same lights all day, all night without any further incidents. When the RCD trips I can reset it immediately and it stays on. I've checked the consumer unit (a wylex) and all the connections seem to be at the right places.
My theories:
It's either a hyper-sensitive RCD unit or something to do with moisture/difference in temperatures during the night?
In any case am I right to say the problem will have to be at the unit where the earth cables meet?
I'm not extremely technical but very interested in the subject, I would really appreciate your opinions.
Thank you very much!
