I stuggle with this. When a light blows here it takes out the circuit
trip
but has never to my knowledge tripped our 30mA RCD. Is there something
system dependent here ?



My 'reading' and I'll admit it's not personal experince is that some
lights, such as Floureseents can have leakage which can cause a 30mA trip to
activate ... whether this is on switch on , or when choke gets hot, I'm not
sure.
