[QUOTE="binky, post: 391858, member: 490"] you do occasionally get faults that clear themselves, particularly relating to damp, the arcing through the damp can remove the damp and hey presto everything is ok for a while... very annoying. I would still install RCBOs regardless, it's just a better set up, and RCBOs can be had for around £15 each these days, not the £25-30 they used to be. My own board I converted to avoid the annual Xmas morning tripping session and irrate wife. Basically we have a double oven, but the small oven only ever gets used at Xmas. The rest of the year it sits doing nothing and accumulating a bit of damp, meaning I had to nurse it 'on' every Xmas morning as it tripped the shared RCD every time otherwise. Now the oven is on it's own RCBO the problem has gone completely, and Xmas morning is a harmonious affair ( almost :slap ) [/QUOTE]
