What can I do if my RCD circuits are tripping?!

If it's an RCD that's tripping, go to your Fusebox; turn all the circuits into the off position, set your main switch into on, then your RCD. With all circuit breakers off, your RCD should reset.

If you have a fault that's been detected by the RCD, you'll find that as you go through the next stage, your RCD will trip when you've found where the fault is.

Start from the right and work your way left, turning each circuit on with the RCD in the ON position.

When you come across the faulty circuit, the RCD will trip. This means you have isolated the area in which the fault has occurred!

Next action. Unplug all appliances in that area connected to the faulty outlets, and if you can remove the fuses to spurs that control fixed appliances.

If this doesn't solve your problem, then give the professionals a call, namely, us!
