Is stairwell lighting into your fuse box, you need to
Flick switch, walk back and forward nine times wiggle flicking in between and possibly drop out
Neutral ata a time, and
Then maybe still rub the head
 
Hi I am training to become an electrician. I am just putting this out there for some more experienced electricians to maybe comment on.

The op said the switch controls a florescent tube, could it be that, it is the inductor in the tube causing the RCD to trip. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the inductor in the florescent tube inducing a current in the neutral conductor when the magnetic field around it collapses, after the switch has been flipped. This could cause a current more than 30mA in the Neutral and not in the Line and therefore trip the RCD?

Is there a simple test he could use to see if this theory holds any weight?
