TRIPPING RCD

kayner · 2017-01-16 23:31:01

My RCD trips out causing all power to go off except for the lights.I reset it and everything works perfectly. It might trip again in an hour -10 minutes-2 hours .not for 24 hours.or maybe not for days... and so on..reset it and away it goes again..it trips during the day -in the evenings and during the night when were in…

Yes we have mentioned that here a few times down the years. We could always use 2 63A ones

But the time for all rcbo's is probably approaching.

2 63 amps would work too. I live in Australia where using 2 RCD's in domestic boards has been standard for years. Is there any reason why it's not done in Ireland?
You're right about the rcbo's. It makes more sense to use them especially with the slimline versions available.
