But after manually turning the RCD off and back on it works within spec.

So give yours a test. It could save you from a belt.


I am not a fan of extra regulation without cost-benefit assessment but
that seems a strong case to at least explore with stakeholders requiring
landlords to give tenants advice/instruction to test RCD(s) every 3
months. Could be added on to the requirement to give them a copy of the
EICR.

One of mine trips several times a week, whenever their is a brief power
outage, which is that often, although perhaps there is a lot of baseline earth
leakage.[1} Is this common, it is a little annoying?

often, one day I'll look into it.
