I had a 6amp RCBO feeding a 2.5mm radial ( temporary measure)

It tripped, as I expected would

But once tripped, all the other circuits went dead?

I replaced with a 16amp RCBO, powered on, and everything back to normal?

What could have caused this?

Random thought. Is there a smart meter nearby? Do we know of any cases of RCBOs affected?

No. I did a standard auto test which was fine. I’ll give it a ramp rest tomorrow and check the earth leakage.
