Am I right in thinking that no matter how dysfunctional or prone to

Why would anyone claiming to have electronic skills put up with an RCD
constantly tripping?


Is it constantly or frequently? Ours trips more often than I'd like, but
with a ridiculous number of electronic devices with filters that leak to
earth in our house, there is not a lot of margin and I can't afford to
go through the hassle of replacing the CU to allow for splitting between
two RCDs or switching to RCBOs.


I suppose if you're willing to put up with it, fine. Although it's not
that big a job to change a CU if you're half competent.

Point I was really making was the likes of Turnip expecting tenants to
accept any old crap and be grateful.

BTW, I've got lots of electronics in this house too. And never once had a
nuisance trip. Although I do have a split load unit, all the electronic
stuff is on the RCD side.
