Or is it a wider breaker with a "test" button on it as well,
whose markings include "30mA" and maybe "80A" or "63A" which cuts power
to a number of circuits? Let us know: the former suggests an overloaded
or faulty single circuit, the latter a problem -

When I first commissioned my sauna and spa, the RCD was forever tripping.
The manual said this was expected for the first few hours of use as the
heating elements (and there are lots of them) were new and could have
absorbed moisture. Somehow (perhaps someone could explain?) this trips the
RCD. After about a dozen resets all settled down as the manual said it
would. If its a new iron could this also be the case?
