Default Comsumer unit RCD trips on non-RCD protected circuit activity

You've probably got an earth-neutral short somewhere or such like. These can
cause weird trips even of different circuits. You should do a full periodic
inspection, which should hopefully find which circuit is at fault, which
could be completely different from what you are expecting.

To do the tests you need a proper continuity insulation tester. A 6 quid
multimeter from Maplins will NOT suffice.


Not for a full inspection, but it might still find a neutral-earth
short.
