Went to a job today where the RCD was tripping.
everytime you turn on fridge or freezer it trips. Then on the other side that is not RCD protected the kitchen lights trip the RCD when turned on. It's newish install couple of years. The RCD trips even when the RCD side bus bar is off and the kitchen lights are turned on. I tested the RCD at half which was ok no trip, tested at 1 there was not trip tested at 5 triped 10ms so it's not tripping at 1x. It's weird how the lights on the non RCD side trips the RCD I tested between the two neutral bars and there is no continuity. There is not another lighting circuit on the RCD side. What do you think, the fridge and freezer carnt both be faulty and kitchen lights, do you reckon RCD but it stays up with all other circuits?..
cheers in advance
