Is my RCD over-sensitive ?


I read somewhere that cookers are notorious for high earth leakage.


If they use mineral insulated elements, this can be true.

If you've isolated the faulty one, change it for a new one.

IMHO, the fact you have an RCD in circuit wouldn't be a reason to get a
refund from an auction purchase unless it specifically said it could pass
this test.

I've got a split load CU and the oven isn't RCD protected - there's no
real reason why it should be.
