I’ve a Square D Split load RCCB board that has a strange issue. The RCCB trips and none of the MCBs seem to trip.

The only thing that has recently been done is replacing the sockets and switches. I’ve tested each socket with a socket tester and it was showing as correct on all sockets. I only had to extend two which I brought up in a a previous thread and used some 5 way Wago connectors.

Any ideas what it could be? As none of the MCBs have tripped. It only seems to happen of a night.
 
Hopefully it is something simple. I do always check my cables. Maybe Ive missed something:

Ive seen these two Meggers:

The KT64 does seem okay for the price the KT65 is £650 to buy but it’s currently on an Auction for a week. It would probably get close to that. I unsure what to do.
