[QUOTE="revjames, post: 504423, member: 5256"] my money would be on the 2 neutrals of the radials being mixed up. I take it one radial is on each side of the RCD board? There are 3 neutral bars inside the board. A main one where all the sub parts of the board - eg the 2 RCDs are fed from and then one each for the output side of each RCD fed circuit. Its common for the installer to accidentally put the neutrals into the wrong neutral bar, then when any current using equipment is plugged in the imbalance of currents trips it. Best get installed back to sort his problems out. [/QUOTE]
