[hutch6447]

Yes went round to look the kitchen and living room are on one ring main downstairs and upstairs is on another now everything works fine except when youplug the vacuum into a socket in the living room it trips the RCD but plug it into the kitchen it also works fine, the vacuum is 1400 watt dyson but plug the kettle (2300 - 3000 W) into the living room sockets and it works fine not come across this in the forces I tell you. The installation is on a split double RCD board.

Done a full test and everything was spot on, did ramp test on rcd's and one was significantly more sensitive so replaced it and everything is fine.
