RCD tripping

[Dannychop9]

Hi everyone,

I started to use my chop saw on the down stairs ring main an it instantly tripped the RCD on the board. I tried different sockets and the same thing happened. Tried it on the upstairs ring and it worked fine.

So I turned off my tumble dryer off and then used the chop saw down stairs and it worked fine. The dryer runs fine otherwise.

Would this be an overload fault? It's and 80A RCD and all I have turned on for it to trip is the fridge/freezer, tumble dryer, security cameras, WiFi router and chop saw.

I've never had this issue before and nothing has changed, it's just started randomly.

Thanks.

OK, that is convincing there is a N-E fault somewhere.

If you can post your town or post code, you might find there is someone on here that is close and can investigate for you.

Thanks ??

It's WA7 AREA, RUNCORN.

No, better for anyone to read the details first!

Thanks for all the replies!

To all who think it's the chopsaw then I'm afraid you're wrong.

I have just turned the oven on and that's tripped it too.

Good Job I didn’t put actual money on it.?
