I have a new breaker panel fitted (March), mostly new appliances, and some from an existing house.
The house is divided into 2 sections with an RCD for each, each section has a ring main and lighting as well as a couple of other breakers on it. One of the RCDs trips infrequently time between trips has been 11.5 days, 84d, 40.5d, 47d. No pattern that I can determine - sometimes trips when we are not in the house. This RCD has the kitchen (so fridge/freezer on it so I have to run an extension for it just in case which is annoying). I haven't spoken to electricity supplier to try and match it to spikes / power issues but this was one of my thoughts.
New meter fitted about 1/2 way through this timeline.
Any ideas on how best to isolate the problem?
replace RCD and wait?
swap the 2 RCDs over and see if it trips the other section?
The problem is that it happens so infrequently, I can only be happy it is fixed if either a) I have found the problem or b) have waited about 6 months with no trip...
