Or perhaps something that got wet and has now dried out?

Sensitive "earth leakage" clamp meters like this

are now being promoted as a good way of tracing faults causing RCDs

Fascinating! Can you hire them - 'cos you could replace quite a lot of
potentially faulty kit for the £300 cost of buying one?
