RCD switch keeps tripping

groovyger · 2023-09-11 16:08:56

Hi there I don’t know if anyone still looks at this section but here goes. The RCD switch in my fuse box has tripped and it won’t go back up. It’s indicating that my sockets downstairs are the problem but I have pulled all the plugs out of the sockets and nothing- still tripping. Any ideas?

Yeap, that's what I said way back in original reply to OP.

You might get lucky with a less sensitive RCD but ime there's nearly always an underlying issue
You've a better chance of rcbos solving the issue cos they're splitting up the leakage .More expensive though.
Reading the ops description there that's usually a fault anyhow
